As opposed to the moral-authoritarians who want to rob the "people" of the opportunity to develop their own moral identity. Rather have it imposed from the top down by a learned council of moral elders, just in case a few happen to get it wrong; that's so much more "god-like," if only in form.
A man once broke his arm. Rather than seek out a wise and experienced medical doctor to set and help heal the broken arm, he decided to just fiddle with it and fix it according to how he thought it should be fixed and healed. Now, how much more important than a broken arm is a broken soul?
Should we just remove all warning signs and fences from the edges of sheer cliffs, and just allow people to decide for themselves if playing near them is foolish or not?
"Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
* C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)
