I just read this in the combox on Randal Rauser’s blog.
An atheist and a divine-command theorist are approached by someone who says to them, "God is telling me to kill my child. Am I crazy?"
The atheist doesn't hesitate. "Yes! You need to seek help immediately!"
While the divine-command theorist shuffles his feet and says, "Well, that depends. Is your name Abraham?"
Is this parable a fair representation of divine command theory?
