The divine command theory

Reference no: EM1378905

Question: James Rachels discuss in The Divine Command Theory (the TA needs to know this argument to help me) that it cannot be accepted, even by religious believers, because it leads to serious doubts about the perfection of God.

I need a TA to help me analyze his arguments concerning whether "morality" requires a religious base.

I do not agree that morality requires religious belief.
One of my arguments: Where does God gather information to set the standards of right and wrong?
