If this is the case, then there should be some way of demonstrating what exactly this law does. As it stands, it doesn't appear to do anything.
I don't think there's an objective morality, but I'd guess this is the one religious folks are thinking of. And the idea is that it 'does something' on the other plane of existence where spirits and Gods and heaven and all that jazz exist.
Another angle, is that it's like the 'game of existence.' And somebody wrote the rules how to play. If you're playing monopoly, and your little dog token is on Boardwalk, and you roll a 3, you can't eat a treasure chest card. You can, I suppose, but it's objectively wrong in the context of monopoly. Or at least it can be inferred to be against the rules if not specifically stated.
God creates existence. Makes the rules for existence. We're existing in the context of existence.
That's how I'd pitch the idea anyways.
