(10a) It implies that if moral authority must come from the gods it doesn't have to be good, and if moral authority must be good it does not have to come from the gods . An implication which, incidentally, got Socrates in a lot of trouble . </P> <P> Although the argument applied to the many capricious gods of ancient Greece, it has implications for the monotheistic religions of today . "Is what is morally good commanded by God because it is morally good, or is it morally good because it is commanded by God?" Ever since Plato's original discussion, this question has presented a problem for some theists, though others have thought it a false dilemma, and it continues to be an object of theological and philosophical discussion today . </P>
