That's called the Euthyphro dilemma from Plato's dialogue Euthyphro. The question is basically from whence comes morality.
Let's say you and I both agree on something which is morally wrong like genocide or rape, something for which it's very difficult to find a dissenter. God carries out genocide and orders rape in the Bible. Is rape okay when God says it's okay? If that's the case, what is it for something to be morally wrong other than to simply be against God's wishes?
