Good question!

Without an absolute moral law giver, it is impossible!

Uh, I don't think it's "impossible". I think humans should be able to discern at least 85% of what is right and what is wrong on their own without divine rules. Humans know when they hurt other humans. We're not that stupid.

BTW, here's what happens when crazy people interpret the Bible for themselves:

but without divine rules, why is hurting other humans wrong?

Simply because you're hurting them. Is it really so hard to understand the difference between hurt and help? I think humans have common sense to know. Yes, I know there are lots of ethical arguments, like is abortion right or wrong and whatnot. Those things we cannot answer and the Bible doesn't give a clear-cut answer either, nor any other religious document. No, I don't believe in moral subjectivity, I believe in the natural goodness and common sense of people.

Simplicity is brilliance. I just wish everyone would all realise we all just want to be happy. That doesnt mean we have to put others down to do this. Far from it....we are unique; just like everyone else

Maybe, the divine rules are implicit...i.e. within us?

But how are they in us? Did we evolve into creatures who know right from wrong if so then why do people still kill eachother?

your missing the point, by saying "no divine rules" i mean just that.

God does not judge-only humans do this. And so only humans judge what is right from what is wrong. But the canny thing is that in order to be at peace, in order to know love, one has to transcend the material world and become part of the thing that creates the material world. In order to do this...you cant hurt but understand that all people are of the same stuff...like the blood of Christ...so therefore you would not want to kill but to manifest a positive change according to wonder and desire to enrich lives...not to destroy them...and the magical ingredient is simple; happiness. Poeple who kill, truly, are not bad people, but the products of bad teachings, this does not conform in our worldly view of social order but in truth it makes them different; not wrong, not right, just different and less spiritual.

How do you figure that God does not judge?

Because God should be a being of pure and unconditional love regardless of past actions.

Unconditional love must judge. If love does not judge then it means nothing at all. If I chose to love you and never judge anything about you then how can I honestly love you?

Because you'd love you (not yourself); fully.
