I guess we’re at an impasse on this issue. Since you believe in divine beings, you can look to them for what is intrinsically good or bad. I can’t do so, so I’m left with what we fallible humans decide is intrinsically good or evil.

We aren't really at an impasse. You already admit that acts are not intrinsically good or evil, just different. In other words, Hitler and you are not really good or evil, just different. Your morality is not really superior or inferior to those of the Taliban's, Osama Bin Ladin or any terrorist, just different.

If this is your conclusion, I have no arguments with you. You shall have been logically self-consistent.
