It should be pointed out that the writer here isn't interested in the question of whether there exists a moral imperative to this or that, or whether or not actual power exists to effect moral change. He's interested in the impact and burden of believing such things.

For example, a Christian may feel a moral burden to save their neighbor from certain metaphysical dangers and experience the same anxieties from responsibility as the brother who feels able to rescue his sibling from alcohol abuse.
