چکیده:
In this article, the author first presents two meanings of the connection between religion and ethics and believes that the second is left to the test of fate. The first assumption, providing rational foundations for moral beliefs through religious beliefs, gives rise to Plato/Socrates' two-sided argument in the Euthyphro: Is that which is good, good because it is loved by God, or is it loved by God because it is good?! While reading it simplistically, the author explains their conclusion by bringing examples from Kierkegaard, Ibsen, and euthanasia; finally, by examining various aspects of the matter, proposes an analytical link between the 'will of God' and the 'nature of good' as an alternative explanation.

Is this not a denial of God's divine grace when we claim at any time that personal life no longer holds any desirable outcome?"14 The difference between this example and the example of Brand (or perhaps Kierkegaard) is that while in Brand's case the conflict ultimately lies within the individual, in Brian Clark's play, the struggle is between individuals and, beyond that, between various ways of coordinating or justifying moral beliefs; as the following argument between Ken and another doctor makes clear: Dr. Scott: But what if you are lucky [what]?
