Problems with morals depending on religion or god.?
Im writing a paper for philosophy, and i need 3 problems with morals that depend on religion or god.
So far im going to talk about the famous question Socrates asks in the Euthyphro: "Is the pious being loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is being loved by the gods"
Then ill talk about how if morals depended on god, then god could flip a coin and choose whatever to be right or wrong.
And i just need a couple more points.
Thanks

It's an interesting subject, but you must resist the temptation to attribute morals to a god. No morals come from a god; religious morals come from books that people claim were endorsed by their god. More often, religious morals come from people's interpretation of texts within their "holy book." The questions you need to ask are questions about the origin of morals and how morals evolve over time.

Hey xd---You can talk about gods all you like ,and their philosophy etc,etc, but don't include THEE GOD of the Universe who is the Only God of Reality that proves His Reality by His Creation and the ability for us to think and choose in the First Place...
The reason for this is that there is no problems with This GOD's Morals. They all are perfect and there is no flaw in them. A perfect God who Loves Perfectly is going to be PERFECT in ALL of His Teachings.{Morals}
You can go with mans opinions all you want, its all mans opinion anyway..but don't disrespect THE GOD of the Heavens and Earth and include Him in your paper. You reap what you sow and we will be judged on all the things that we have done on earth--GOOD or BAD.
Just a last word of caution, because God of Love is not one to slap in the Face because of our arrogance---Our God that Created all of us and this UNIVERSE deserves all our allegiance, respect, Love and Honor--does not flip Coins.
Source(s): The Holy Spirit in My heart tells me to tell you, be careful on the ground you walk. Everything you do, if not covered with the Blood of Christ,as to look Righteous, in the sight of God the Father, at judgment Day, is that, your sins of blasphemy will shine like a neon Sign.
