I think you'll find there is no way for the morality of a so called god to be objective, because the information emparted is done so via humans who are incapable of being truely 100% objective. Until a god (take your pick from the millions that exist and used to exist) speaks directly to a computer and that information is transcribed directly for the masses, there is no objective morality!! Even then once a human reads the "message" it ceases to be objective as it would be subject to each person's world view. |
Even if god's morality is transmitted directly to each mind by god, there is still no objective morality. If we all decided to do what god wants because he's god and he's powerful, then that's obedience, not morality. If we were to actually be moral agents , we would need some kind of criteria by which to judge whether god's commandments were moral or not, and that would require us to create a moral standard outside god.
The only way you get to objective morality through god is if you define morality as being anything in accordance with god's will, but that's just circular reasoning.
