I have a dilema and I would like to know what's your take on it.
The story is the following (without entering it too much details). A certain agreement is being negotiated which would give very significant powers to private companies against a country's governement and its people. Big companies could sue governments if certain laws are passed which would reduce their profits! This is completely evil in my view and a pure attack on democracy, and I decided to take some action by sharing the news and the knowledge I have, so that other people are aware of what is going on.
Now one of them said something along the line "Well, I agree this is evil, but it is prophesied in the holy book of my religion, so I won't take action against it. And my holy book says there is even worse to come!"

I found that shocking... I try my best to respect all religions, but this was really demanding a lot from me. It's like using one's religion/beliefs for letting evil being committed. Personally, I find that attitude to be bordering on evil itself.
I wish I am wrong, so please correct me...
What's your take on this situation?
