The same way that christians do, and the same way that former christian atheists do.  "Divine objectivity" is a bit of a misnomer anyway.  The mandate of heaven is subjective.

Yup.  Clearly illustrated by the billions of Christians that disagree with each other on what is moral. I agree that appealing to the Bible or God is the opposite of 'rock solid'.
