If you can identify that then you can measure the success of strategies toward those objectives using principles of utility and consequences, for example.
Meanwhile, where do you get your morality? From the bible? From god's commands?
If the bible, how do you determine what is true or literal, symbolic or false, or human error in the transcription?
If godly commands, by what means do you receive them?
