- The traditional moral argument for the existence of God is not convincing because the premise that without God, objective moral values do not exist is not plausible for all.
- Having God as the source of morality does not provide a satisfactory grounding for morality as it creates more questions and issues.
- Explaining the existence of moral facts by positing God as the source is as arbitrary as positing other explanations like pleasure being good.
