     Is it a sin, an evil thing, for a person to privately
and/or  secretly  fail  to honor a  domineering religious-
leader or church-council that has called for a  particular
form   of   obedience/conformity   in  regards   to   some
controversial:   belief,   communication,    dialogue   or
mutual/balanced     personal-relationship    between/among
healthy persons?  Upon what authority is it to be regarded
as  a  sin,   as an evil thing?   Is keeping such  a  sin,
secret,  itself an additional sin,  an evil behavior?   If
so, why so?

     How  can we be sure that "The Domination System"   is
NOT  in  charge  of  such  a  view?    By  what  evidence,
principle,  authority is  anybody  to prevail  over  other
people,  evidence, principles and/or authorities?   Should
religious leaders   and/or  councils which are  arrogant,
self-righteous  and alienative in their ways ---   prevail
over those that are humble,  merciful,  and  defenders  of
justice for the  poor  and vulnerable people of the world?
What   have   the  originators  of  the  major   religious
traditions taught about these issues?  How well have their
disciples followed their teachings?    In what  ways  have
some disciples  perverted  their  master's  teachings  and
examples?
