Final thought before bed time:
If right and wrong actions are what we all agree are right and wrong actions, then that depends entirely on the views of the people alive at the time. In a few generations, what is considered right and wrong may be different, at least partially.
Which set of right and wrong was then objectively more correct? Neither, because it doesn't mean anything. Someone has to compare them, and come up with a criteria for comparing them.
