True. But we subjugate ourselves to the mightiest all the time, often believing it is in our best interest or the interest of others. As children we do it, albeit maybe with some rebellion from time to time. For those who live in the US, most would accept the ultimate authority of the Supreme Court in determining what is lawful and what is not; an essential part of preserving the benevolent aspects of the Constitution. However, when it is felt this subjugation is not benign, rebellion often occurs.

Personally I don't have a problem with God determining what is moral and what is not. This is based on a belief in God's benevolence to creation.
