Divinity Liberty is not concerned with the origins of the universe, the nature of its existence, or the nature of any gods that do or do not exist. Divinity Liberty is solely concerned with the promotion of Free Will and Free Will Doctrine.
In Divinity Liberty, free will is understood to be completely unalterable by any entity. There is always some sort of choice, and while coercion happens, people are always able to make a choice, even if it is between only bad choices. A person can be tricked, but ultimately, they have the last say in any decision they make.
This free will is holy, then, as it is the most powerful thing in the universe, the only thing that cannot be changed. The ability to make decisions freely, to have the freedom to choose, is considered the ultimate good. Actions promoting free will are morally good, and actions restricting it are morally evil.
In its simpler terms, it makes sense. Stealing reduces someone's free will by taking their resources without permission and taking their freedom of movement, or their freedom to alter their world to their liking (so long as it does not infringe on the free will of others). Murder is obvious, assaulting others is obvious, and lying is restricting someone's ability to make the right decision by provding false information.
More complex issues do exist, though. Killing in self-defense is considered bad, but not morally, as it obviously takes free will from one person, but promotes the free will of the would-be victim. Morally evil people restrict the free will of many others, and so removing one evil person frees many good, and has an ultimately good outcome. If the killing could be avoided, however, it would be considered evil. Any avoidable outcome of an action whose nature is evil is considered evil.
Prisons are evil, depending on their nature. Rehabilitation prisons are designed to aid people and give them more opportunities, ultimately improving free will, while punal prisons restrict free will in the long term. While some might say schools are a prison, if they are designed to grant knowledge as they should, they are good. If they fail to do so, they are morally reprehensible.
Even more complex issues than this exist, issues that delve into the nature of existence and more, but there are a great many texts already written on these subjects you may pursue elsewhere.
