While I understand very well what you're saying, I disagree about the responsibility. Yeah, individuals bear much of it, but so do the people who have misled them.

To me it's like the tobacco industry. No one forces anyone to smoke (and these days there's plenty of contra-information) but the tobacco companies traditionally heavily promoted their products, and now it's been proved that they deliberately falsified the results of studies showing how dangerous smoking is. Society, through the courts, is now holding them responsible for knowingly promoting dangerous products.

To me this is no different from the Society's continuing to promote a dangerous spiritual product. They should be called to account.
