It's not a set of absolutes that the universe enforces. Obviously God can't enforce anything as he doesn't exist.

Thats because you choose not to have Him in your community! He may well be in the a community, however.
If morals were absolute, they would be inviolable and obvious. That they are fungible, negotiatable, and flexible in every instance proves that there are no moral absolutes.
Perhaps what Nemesis is trying to say is that morals should be absolute, not that they are.
