    Not a Christian, but a Muslim once share the argument that God doesn’t make mistakes and corrects, nor he changes his mind. He sets the correct rules for that moment, and any change is because it’s the right thing to do and it’s the right moment to do so. We mere humans can’t understand enough, so that’s the godly way to guide us.

      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.

        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.”
