Could God Love Cruelty?

One of the foremost objections to theological voluntarism is contingency objection. If God’s will fixes moral facts, then what if God willed that agents engage in cruelty? I argue even unrestricted voluntarists should accept some logical constraints on possible systems—hence, limits ways could have morality be—and these are sufficient blunt force constraint defend a very weak accessibility requirement, related (but less problematic than) existence internalism metaethics. The voluntarist can maintain: Godcouldn’t loved cruelty, and though he behaviors we find abhorrent, only done so world deeply alien agents. We cannot confidently declare such unacceptable.
