Going back to slavery, as an analogy, again: This was once true of slavery.
Yeah, you are running in circles.
So, is your true subject in this thread "What happens when you are moral?" The answer is "not much." That's why there are laws, police, fines, and prisons so that people obey some moral standards.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
