morality is subjective and people don't have free will

Commands are obligations to do something and largely I don't have a problem with those. His yoke is light. But some prohibitions do not strike me as obviously wrong. If two guys want to sword-fight in the middle of the night, I really don't care, but at the same time the bible's teaching on homosexuality is clear. So while I may personally not understand the prohibition, I must respect the authority of scripture.
