Political Posturing

[Archaea]

Let's say a hypothetical city, say, Sodom or Gomorrah, had a law which allowed men of the city to have sex with the daughters of any family, even if the daughters did not desire it.

If a plebiscite were let, where the populace were voting on whether to make such practice illegal, according to a certain poster, the religious authorities should not promote such plebiscite, but should remain neutral, because such plebiscite would "compel" a certain moral perspective. Somebody in Sodom might actually let out another plebiscite discouraging marriage is the logic, if the religious authorities supported such positive measure.

Furthermore, let's say licenses were given only religious authorities who were married. Now, no religious authority should campaign to maintain such law for any reason, and only persons wishing to change it should be allowed to campaign.

Rubbish. Such thinking would eviscerate the moral authority of the leaders. You can take no weapons out of the hands of religion, because compulsion is only forcing somebody to do something by a gun or physical force.

Denial of opportunity to fail is not the same thing as denial of privileges as consequences of certain actions. There is no parallel to the Plan of Salvation to asking for legislation based on morality concepts.
