Morality and God, God and Morality
Question
If our obligation to morality stems from the fact that God implanted it within us, the question arises: who says that God implanted true morality within us? As long as we have not proven our obligation to morality, it could be that God forbid, God is not moral and misled us with an incorrect feeling.
Thank you
Answer
I didn’t understand a single word here. Our obligation to morality is because morality is binding. What does that have to do with its being implanted within us? At most, that implantation helps us discern the moral imperative, but it is not what gives it validity.
