Your not in a position of power or authority where people listen to you so it sounds 
like BC. On the other hand, any leader is responsible for the actions of those who are 
following his orders. If the orders come from one of his subordinates, then he may be 
less liable, but he should know what's going on. If a religious organization or any 
organization, tells their people to do something and the people do it, then the 
organization bears responsibility. If the organization speaks in the name of someone 
else, then that someone else had better do something to set them right. 
We prosecuted the Nazis who pulled the triggers AND those who gave the commands. In no 
place have I said that those performing the actions are exempt. I simply said that 
those who told them what actions to take bear (beer?) responsibility. 
(side question, which beer is it?)
