Just something I've thought of today but obviously most ppl agree that if God doesn't exist(which is probably the case), then morality doesn't either but even if God exists, how would that make it objective,

Ev&doe God is supposed to be the Creator of the universe that doesn't mean that whatever he thinks is necessarily true,only way to justify god's morals being the objectively good moral code is through appeal to authority and that's fallacious because the fact that God is in command doesn't mean that whatever he says is good is in fact good, for example, if a dictator said it was good to kill other ppl or whatever that wouldn't make it good even though hes the boss of the hypothetical country in question so the same applies to God

Just thoughts tho idk

i don't think the analogy is accurate

i'm not really religious but i think that the scripture more or less says that all good comes from him, so by extension all of morality stems from him and i don't think it's a matter of appealing to authority because that is literally just how the theism works

in this case the "authority" is the argument it's not that the authority is providing the argument

why would the good that stems from him be good tho, maybe u could make the argument than if that is the case, morality supercedes god which is kinda interesting
