How so?
Because it implies conformity and a lot of the time conformity leaves little room for individuality in my opinion.
Evil is only subjective in the context of people not following the golden rule to begin with. For instance, there would be no need for a justice system if everybody tried their best to follow the golden rule. What ever minor transgressions they make would be between them and God.
Every single person has their own personal definition of what is or isn't evil. For me personally, I think evil is too broad and simplistic a term to describe anything. In order for absolute evil to exist, everyone would have to agree. As far as the golden rule, you are assuming that Christianity is the correct religion. And as you said earlier, this is based on trust. I just think trust is a little too flimsy.
