In this essay I will examine and evaluate Divine Command Theory. The theory will first be summarized. Then I will lay out the strengths of the theory and what makes it worth examining. Finally, I will address the flaws and weaknesses of the theory. Divine command theory is the idea that what makes an action wrong or right is God's command. Therefore, an action is morally obligatory if God commands it to be right. An action is morally wrong if God commands it to be wrong. Finally, an action is optional only if God neither commands nor forbids it. Morality is commanded by God regardless of what we think is right or wrong. For example, if God commands that murder is wrong, then it is wrong only because God commands that it is wrong. If he commands that giving to charity is right, it is only right because of his will. Divine Command Theory has more arguments against than for. However, it is strongly favored by religious people, while it is also opposed by many religious people. The argument of divine supremacy is the main argument used to promote this theory. It states that everything depends on the will of God. Therefore, morality in turn depends on the will of God. The argument from the objectivity of morality also supports the divine command theory. It states that moral standards are objective, separate from any cultural judgment. It is also stated that they are universal. Therefore, morality can only be objective and universal if it depends on God's commands. In response, morality depends solely on God's commands. While both of these theories have some merit, they both have flaws. The theory of divine supremacy, while agreed upon in many religions, makes several significant assumptions. Because I… middle of the paper… there are moral standards that are separate from God's will. However, with the second choice, God's commands are actually useless. In response, the only conclusions are that God's commands are in fact meaningless or that there is a standard of morality that exists separately from God. This would offend many religions and the religious perspectives of the people within them. However, in this case, they would have to accept a standard of morality separate from the will of God. We have examined the arguments for and against Divine Command Theory. It has an interesting structure, especially the existence of God. However, such a framework is rather fragile in the face of gigantic objections. The Euthyphro dilemma specifically breaks this theory more than any other. In conclusion, I have found that the Divine Command Theory is implausible.
