Many people would say that he did nothing morally wrong and in fact, some might even go as far as to say that he should get a pat on the back for his actions. If God does not exist then the Eternal Law does not exist and therefore the whole theory comes tumbling down.

But then this raises the obvious question: if it is not Gods commands that make something right and wrong, then what does?

The natural law is specifically applicable to human beings as its basic precepts are formed from practical rationality. We need some revealed guidance and this comes in the form of Divine Law.
