...and not point out to them the error of their ways?

It doesn't. That's why there's so much ignorance and evil in the world: There's this big taboo around philosophical argument, and people seem to believe that any meeting of minds philosophically has to be conflict. In my opinion, bring back debate. We can't develop ideas unless we chalenge them, and if we don't challenge beliefs - our own and those of others - really, we're just wasting our ability to reason morally. If you can make a statement that contradicts someone's beliefs that has stronger evidence or logic behind it than the belief it contradicts, you should. Otherwise, mankind's morality doesn't progress, it just remains stagnant.

Who's to say, though, that what you tell them, which is from YOUR perception only "the error of their ways"? Perhaps their ways are NOT in error from their ethical standpoint.

I don't tell them what they want to hear, I tell them what they NEED to hear & that is the Truth of God's word. Many get's offended, But that does not change my belief, or God's word.

They have faith, they do not need nor want any extraneous facts. It only confuses the issue.

It doesn't. On the other hand, you don't get reported or blocked as much.
