Well it demonstrably doesn't, and I think the golden rule is a pretty reliable leveller here.

Me too, though the deity depicted in the bible didn't share our subjective sensibilities. 

I came to terms with subjective morality a long time ago, but it is clear it scares the crap out of many people. generally it's theists and religious apologists, but I think empathy serves the majority, better than intolerance, even if this is a subjective opinion, and I'd rather live in a tolerant free society, than a dystopian Orwellian "hell", or a totalitarian state...

It may be idealistic of me, but since morals are subjective, no one can say that this is objectively wrong.
