The Divine Command Theory states that God is the ultimate source of
             morality and the abandonment or lack of belief in Him results in, or is
             largely liked to, the many social problems in the world (Schlick, Jr 2003).
             It says that something is good because God wills it. His commands and
             instructions are also eternal or unchanging. It is understood in one of
             three versions: first, it applies only to particular religious communities
             and, therefore does not affect those outside (the weakest); second, moral
             behavior in itself is good and people should behave morally, therefore,
             limiting the theory to religious believers (a stronger version); and third,
             moral behavior is good and desirable because God wills it (the most popular
             This theory, first of all, states that whatever God wills, goes and
             that makes Him a despotic ruler who does things arbitrarily (Schick) rather
             than prefer one thing to another because it is good or right. It also
             teaches that we must trust God enormously to make this world right and that
             this is the best of all possible worlds. God can choose to change His own
             moral code whenever He pleases and for reasons only of His choosing. There
             are many examples in the Old Testament where God kills and yet His fifth
             commandment forbids it. It negates the notion of free will and the validity
             of praising Him for certain acts at certain times and opposite ones at
             Kai Nielsen questions its accessibility to non-believers, and
             requires prior belief in the moral code as coming from God. Neither that
             accessibility nor that prior belief exists. Nielsen also believes that one
             cannot assume on God's goodness, but must have a pre-existing and
             independent moral criterion for the assumption (Schick). Its strongest
             proponent, Philip Quinn, on the other hand, argues for the theory in that
             OT examples given are mere cases of God's suspending His own moral
             standards. His Son,...
