    He sets the correct rules for that moment

    So morals are not objective and unchanging, rather they change depending on how God feels at any particular moment. You can’t actually ground any sort of moral worldview with that belief because you can justify literally anything as long as you say God said so.

      This is literally the first instruction God gives Adam and Eve. Do not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Do not develop an independent sense of morality. What God says is the right thing at that time, and don’t you dare contradict him.

      It was more “moral are beyond human comprehension, so follow sky daddy” kind of argument.

      Not saying it’s a good argument, but a possible one from a religious standpoint

        So basically, morality is very tricky, so it kind of depends on the situation, so in general try to behave in accordance with X and avoid Y, but there will always be grey areas which must be judged on a case by case basis.

        Kind of like how our laws work.

        “Everyone! I just heard from sky daddy. He said you should all give me all your money. New moral imperative.”
