I think most people recognize more states that 'moral righteousness' and 'immoral heathen'. I don't expect, e.g. christian bale to spend his life volunteering in a food pantry and washing prisoner's feet.

I do expect him not to rape, murder, commit fraud, and so on.

One of the things I occasionally notice about conversations in this area is that some people care more about actions that hurt people than property.

If our hyopthetical rockstar trashes a hotel room, wrecks his car and then has a heart attack from cocaine, that might be judged differently than one that joins the local nazi party and attempts to murder someone.

However if a rockstar were to protest peacefully and shout “Black Lives Matters” then throw a rock through a police car window..

…I’d assume that would be judged differently than an attempted murder and trashing a hotel room.

The question is what would be the judgement for all three?

I'm genuinely confused what the question is.

Shouting "black lives matter" at a protest is a fairly minor virtuous action. Throwing a rock at a police car is a pretty minor sin.

Attempted murder is generally a pretty major sin, modulo quibbles about legal vs moral definitions of murder.
