Could someone please explain this argument and how it is specifically valid from the theistic point of view?

@Chights47,
David Hume suggested that one cannot derive an "ought" from an "is" -- meaning that one cannot base a moral directive solely on the fact that something is the way it is. As for the "is-ought" issue from a theistic point of view, I haven't the foggiest notion.
