- Q10What is the problem of arbitrariness?The arbitrariness problem is the problem that divine command theory appears to render the content of morality arbitrary (arbitrary means based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system). If divine command theory is true, it seems, then what is good and what bad depends on nothing more than God’s whims. Whims, though, even God’s whims, are not an adequate foundation for morality.30s
