To me it is clear that the white-washed septic tanks who write this demonic stuff labeling empathy as sin is coming from people whom we already know have all of the narcissistic traits. Narcissists see empathy as a weakness because how can you exploit your fellow human beings when you keep getting tripped up by feelings that just keep getting in the way? They think like Satan. How can you enjoy exploiting people with a conscience that works? And these people think that God and other people either are or should think just like them. These celebrities are just a brood of vipers justifying their own evil hearts. Hell is full of people like this.

….caring too much about people we disagree with? I certainly hope so. I’ve been criticized for that often enough. Apparently, if I disagree with someone, I should hate them, insult them, and definitely not perform any kind of charitable act for them, even if that’s just giving someone a shoulder to cry on.

“Do Christians have a reputation for caring too much about people we disagree with? If anything, the stereotype of Christians is loud angry judgment. Do we need articles pulling us back from the edge of loving and caring too much or do we need something else?”

Reminds me of the section in *Screwtape Letters* where Screwtape says one of their best weapons is to get Christians wound up against the thing they most need to emulate, and double down on the thing they are most in need of correcting. “The game is to have them all running around with fire extinguishers whenever there’s a flood; and all crowding to that side of the boat which is already nearly gone under.”

Debates like this are what happens theology is shaped by personalities. Does anyone think it’s a coincidence that documented slavery apologist Doug Wilson came down on the side of empathy being a sin? Or that the whole “empathy is a sin” argument is being promoted by Calvinists?
