A spiritual absolute would necessarily be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell.

That we are aware, then the details of which we are aware.

The top down father figure lawgiver is just to get people to shut up and listen to the authority figures.

Then they get their feelings hurt when God ignores them and don't understand the price we must pay to feel is that much of it is pain.

Without the ups and downs, it's a flatline.
