Jake explains why appealing to God's authority creates a 'turtles all the way down' problem in ethics.

In part three of their series on whether God is a good thing, hosts Jake and Ant explore the source of moral authority in religion, focusing on divine command theory and the Euthyphro dilemma. They debate whether God's commands define goodness or if an external standard limits God, examining philosophical arguments and real-world implications for ethical autonomy.
