It's not that we should be passive or goody-goody before evil and all of its cruel disguises, but the answer is not political or cultural or denominational or intellectual or emotional or being morally correct. The only answer is found in a person - Jesus Christ.
Yes, these things are forgiven the penitent man. And that penitent mans devotion is proven by works in obedience, wherein he shall shed the skin of the world and become reborn, fully established in Christ by My Spirit, and hated of the world, leading to strife with your neighbors and loved ones. ~ Jesus [Letters from God and His Christ - Volume 4 - Walk Not Where Others Walk]
