WOTM: The Sin Of Empathy
Well, if you haven't seen it all yet, buckle up. For years now I've been talking about Christianity's ability to corrupt the hearts and minds of believers. The hearts in particular, and the suppression of human empathy which can make excusegists defend things like genocide and slavery.
Of course, I should have known that shame and embarrassment would simply have the opposite effect. And it has. Now, Christians are talking about "the sin of empathy." Holy Hitchens, I may have hit my breaking point. Help me, Hitchens!
Blessings and indulgences for everyone. My way of saying thank you so much!!! And of course, thank you all so much!!! I literally couldn't do this without you. Enjoy! B

America is currenly being run by leaders and voters for whom empathy is a bad word. It's woke, DEI, only for cucks, not consistent with our American mission. Cruelty, not empathy is the current watchword and rallying cry.
So true!!!
Good Gawd Almighty. Such christian cretins are basically preaching that MAGA Jesus would say: "But... these are my loaves and fishes! If I share them with those people, it will only make them dependent on handouts and reinforce their laziness.
“In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trials 1945-1949) I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” -Captain G. M. Gilbert, the Army psychologist assigned to watching the defendants at the Nuremberg trialS
