Ethical conventionalism

Please summarize in three or four pages what Sober says in Chapter 31, pgs. 329 — 337. Focus on what ethical conventionalism is, what divine command theory is (along with Sober’s objections to it), and what ethical relativism is (along with Sober’s objections to it). Then, answer the following critical question: on page 332 Sober considers whether the number of religions in the world and their different conceptions of what God commands is a problem for divine command theory. He decides that it is not, and his reason is that divine command theory is about what makes actions right or wrong, not about “how we can find out which actions are right or wrong.” Do you agree or disagree with Sober’s judgment that religious variety is not a problem for divine command theory? If not, why not?
