I have absoultely no ethical dilemma in that situation. I will protect my family.

What would be a line of obedience that you wouldn't cross? Would you burn inscense to the emperor?
Obedience might cost us our lives... and yes... sadly... it might cost our family dearly at the hands of a crazed maniac or godless government.
