For me, I ask myself two questions.
1. Are people besides those actively and freely engaging in this being hurt by it?

2. Are the fundamental human and civil rights of those who are not freely choosing to engage in this (whatever this is) being violated in some way?

If the answer to either of these is yes, then I speak out, then I try to do something about it, but if the answer on both counts is no and I just find it odd, it's not my place to interfere

The Chritian way to help, that would be the example of the Samaritan who helps the robbed traveler: "Whatever he spends, I pay you when I return." This is the Christian way for not overstreching the limits.

The other faiths would require you run into the seas.
