There Is No Sin!

What or who determines what is a crime or what is moral?

I just said moral reasoning and anybody who can use it . Seriously at this point i'm convinced you don't honestly care about the answer. 

I think head counts and collection plate totals are involved in the calculation. Pastors who hold tight to some bit of strict interpretation of a "Biblical Truth" that the membership finds inconvenient will see the empty seats and notice a lighter tote to the bank Monday. It's a feed back loop they ignore at their peril.

Hell, Apostle Paul re-kick-started Jesus's lame religion into something hugely with the same technique. A modern era example, of course, would be so many churches doing a 180 on their divorce and subsequent remarriage prohibitions. Used to be a make or break issue for many denominations that now treat those adulterous remarriages as actual sacraments. Just in my lifetime has this occurred. Really amazing to watch a keystone of church dogma get chiseled out of the edifice and consigned to trash heap of religious history.

Really, really amazing. Such a huge change and barely a ripple of concern from anyone. I can't even tell if Jesus had a hissy fit about them changing His little rule there.
