Sorry, but this is a shallow argument.

So you say, then you go straight ahead and agree with me. Your concern appears to be over what is identified as "right" and not with the notion that might will follow. At least that's how I see your reply. If "right is properly identified, you seem to agree that might will follow. Am I misunderstanding you?

Different people disagree on what is right, and they contradict one another. They all cannot be correct about true moral principles - logic does not allow it. Morals are either relative to man or God - there no other possible choices available. In the case of Ayn Rand, morals are relative to HER and her alone - she made up her own moral principles and in the instances where her principles agree with "true" moral principles from God, it is only coincidental since she did not believe in God. Some people agree with Ayn Rand but many others do not. Who is correct? You see, without universal moral principles (universal principles can come only from God), morals are reduced to mere opinions and preferences and none can claim any authority.
