"absolute standard" ? What does this even mean here ?
Do you mean some kind of meta-rule by which the other rules are formed ?
And yes, it is utterly superstition to believe that the rules described as the 10 commandments (there were many others that were discarded), were dictated from a supernatural source. Its almost the definition of superstition..
"The only other option is that they are the product of the human mind and therefore die when the human mind is gone from this earth."
Yes of course they are the product of the human mind, they are abstract concepts, but being such cannot 'die' for they are not material.
But even there you confoud the issue...'gone from this earth '? Do you mean in space, on the moon, how far away from the earth do you mean ?
The meta rule for morality, I will postulate, (and it will probably sound familiar to you), is:
"Dont do something to someone else, that you wouldnt want them to do to you"...
I think that fits your idea of "what is right for you may not be right for me (and who is to judge?)".
And for that matter, we are all to judge, for we are all responsible for each other, whether we like it or not.- If such a meta rule is the product of molecules in motion, then in principle it doesn't matter what we do. Do as you please. No one may judge you.teleos
- No one is responsible to anyone else. Unless there is a universal absolute standard, I can do anything I want. In principle. This is not a difficult concept.teleos
