Based on an answer from this question,
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjpBhlp70aGHGdIILoz9rnLd7BR.?qid=20070328062411AA5ABRI
its in there and the man ends his awesome answer asking is it moral to murder or rape if God commands it?
We have seen legal cases in America where "God commands" was used as a (unsuccessful) defense.
I think this is a fascinating topic, the overlap of religion, politics, law, morality.
This is a sort of Socrates question, is something holy because the gods says its so, or is it the gods that determine what is holy?
Great question.
