I'd be happy to explain it to you. But I already knew in advance you would reject it since it deals with universals and your an authoritarian biblical guy who rejects all other explanations in a dogmatic fashion. The categorical imperative deals with treating people not merely as means, but as ends also. The test for whether an act is moral is based on whether it is good for all human beings. For instance, suicide is immoral because if I choose to do so, I am saying it is good for all human beings to commit suicide. Mind you, the criterion here is not necessarily what the bible says. This is an non-authoritarian version of morality, which you reject. There are a host of things that people do which are neither moral or immoral, but based on sentiment or taste. The holocaust was immoral because no person should be killed or persecuted based on their religious faith.
