In today's discussion, we examined one logical expression of the idea that there is a theological foundation for morality, in the form of a deductive argument:

P1. Person#1 exists.
P2. Person#1 has said that X is morally right.
C. Therefore, X is morally right.

In other words, whether an action is moral or not depends simply on whether (a very specific) someone has said so.

HW: Your task has two (2!) parts. FIRST (as a comment below): Does the above argument work in general - that is, for ANY Person#1 and for ANY X? If not, then why should I suppose that it works for some very specific Person#1 and for certain specific Xes? SECOND: look up the term "biting the bullet." We will be using it in class tomorrow.
