God forbid that I would ever take it upon myself to speak for any religious ‘authority’. … please. Amen. Having said that. There is a place for rules in any social group. In fact, social groups are primarily defined by their rules set. Some rules violations come under the category of tolerable to the group with some contingency, while others are simply intolerable. For example: Let’s say that within your home you have a rule that kids must taste (at least one bite) of whatever you serve them at dinner time. If they bring a guest who cries and insists she will throw up if she has to eat peas, most people would excuse her from the rule. However, you would probably not let her stay at the table if she insists that she has the right to knife your kid for taking the last biscuit. Religious groups, being private, ought to have the ability to establish tolerable limits for their rules, and those of us outside the group ought to respect their limits. We don’t have to be members but we shouldn’t insist on membership and that the rules don’t apply.
