Nature, as God s creation, is in complete sync with his moral commands. The difficulty with both divine command theory and natural law is that, as society becomes more pluralistic, we come into more and more contact with a greater and greater variety of religious traditions, each with their own scriptures and traditions, and not all of them agreeing all the time. This feeling is especially poignant when people gain experiences with very decent people with different religions or even no religion at all. As long as we remain generous and humble, there is no real problem. But some people find themselves retreating to what some consider a defensive position called absolutism .
Absolutism is divine command theory, but without the generous and humble spirit.
In other words, it s my way or else. We have had many examples of absolutism in history, and we have many examples still today. Moral Relativism Diametrically opposed to the theological theories are various forms of moral relativism. Moral relativism says that there are no universal moral principles. Morality is a matter of customs or opinions or habits or emotions.
