Moral responsibility has been defined as “the status of morally deserving praise, reward or punishment for an act or omission by one's moral obligations”. God and Moral Obligation argues that the truth lies somewhere between these two claims. It is not quite right to say that there would be nothing left of morality if God did not exist, but moral obligations do depend on God ontologically.
