Well i wouldn't blame the individuals for doing what they've been taught, they don't know it's wrong, they have been mislead. If they learnt the truth and were able to accept it and turn around and do what they now know is right, God will forgive them (and same for us, if we come to realize what we have been doing is not quite right, we should change). It's the ones who know the truth, and yet purposely do the opposite, and teach others that that it's the truth, they are misleading others and they will be judged for it.
And i would just like to congratulate you on your readable post Zion!
