I'm gonna make a second comment here because I think it helps to keep separate discussions in separate threads.
This is not the situation we are in, and it's not what you are doing. You are arguing what everyone else should do first before the powerful can be demanded to change too. You aren't even arguing for both changing at the same time, you are saying "before you aren't holy you can't demand betterment from anyone else". Which is just illogical to me. A chainsmoker can tell me that smoking is bad and I should stop and they would be right. No need for them to stop smoking first.
