When thinking about morals, it seems popular to believe that God could create moral absolutes (if there is a God and he cares how we behave). But wouldn't moral law then be subjective to God's opinion? That's still not objective, it's just might makes right to the extreme (God can send us to hell if we don't behave).

Re: morals

It may or may not be absolute from Gods viewpoint. But since we don't have that omniscient viewpoint, we can only look at things from our limited view. From that view, all things are relative since we can only compare our situation to other situations rather than knowing how all and every situation fit together...

Thus the inherent weakness of non-pantheistic philosophies.

my problem with God

Alright, God is all powerful, all knowing, blah, blah, blah.

Let's assume that's all true.

Alrighty then, if God created us to be just as we are, then each of us has no choice but to behave exactly as God made us; then from before birth we are destined to go to heaven or hell because God has already made that decision for us; no free will involved.

What a loving God(s).
