These human concepts of good and evil are all we have. the bible even says Yahweh is incomprehensible, which means we can't understand him, and also means he can't be trusted. You can't trust something you don't know, including claims of being perfect and always right. Or good. Or anything. He's just a thing that may or may not exist, that may or may not have inspired people to write stories about him. Some of which have been told before in other cultures.
So yes, all I have to go on is human understanding. Yes, humans are flawed. Too bad. That's all we have. Including a book of stories that claim to be divinely inspired by people that lived long ago. Amongst other books, speaking of other gods, that are older than the torah.
Don't you think it's kind of suspicious that this divinely inspired morality seems to coincide a lot with views that were commonly held at the time? Most people nowadays don't think highly of people going into a town to slaughter everyone but the virgins because of differing beliefs, then marrying and raping the virgins afterwards. Or something as simple as polygamy, which was the most common form of marriage in the bible.
