Both methods rely on the interpretation of humans so they are both subject to the flaws from human interpretation.

I must agree that both methods rely on the interpretation of humans and, therefore, they are both subject to flaws. However, one method is based on human interpretation of human interpretation (secular humanism) and the other is based on human interpretation of the Word of God (Christianity). And since God and His Word is the ultimate authority in my world view, I think Chrisianity's moral code is closer to reality (what it should be) than that of secular humanism, which should not shock anyone.
