That's almost exactly what Paulis Longvale tells the newly Illuminated Oddi in CoT (pg. 87) as they prepared to battle Ralzakark. Right and wrong are a matter of perspective. Perhaps it is more accurate to say that belief and the morals derived from it are largely subjective. In Glorantha almost nobody but Illuminates and maybe God Learners would believe that, I suspect.
