LMFAO.

I'm sure the majority haven't ever opened a bible.

Who knew that empathy was the work of the devil? Seriously, I had heard the talk that empathy was bad (musk), but had never heard why. That is very sick and perverted thinking. And very scary.

Eyes when I heard it on my local public radio station.

I have always believed in hurtful and evil people.

I barely survived growing up with a severely mentally disturbed half sister that tried to kill me more than once. So, people lacking empathy isn't a shock to me.

However, that there's an organized movement that preaches such like a religion is something that I found shocking. It isn't anything that sane person should overlook. Situational awareness is the first rule of self defense, after all.

I'm thankful that you found it meaningful. ❤️

It’s painful to think people really believe crap like that. However, this year seems to be full of teaching me things I don’t want to know about my fellow Americans.

1. They're racist and don't want immigrants coming to the U.S. Too much empathy for the poor and needy leads to welcoming immigrants.

2. They're bigoted against LGBTQ and other people they don't like and don't want people to feel empathy for them.

3. They're worried that their womenfolk might be inclined toward empathy (because women are good nurturers but not very bright) so they're doubling down on why empathy is bad. Get those women back in line.

I admit that I stopped reading at that point. I imagine it's mostly about money, at the core. It usually is with right wing evangelicals.

They are always projecting and twisting things inside out.

These are the cretins who, if they reproduce, ensure they damage their "little darlings" by reliving their own childhoods through their children's lives, whether those children want them or not.
They know best. No one understands their dedication, their goals, their feelings...their identity. Empathy for others is toxic to them, because it pops their personal bubbles of reality.

As the song goes, they're living in their Own Private Idahos. They just dived a bit too far in their own pools...

There is no such thing as Trump Derangement Syndrome but there is a Trump Enabler Syndrome.
There is no such thing as being too empathetic.

… is empathy.”

Why doesn't our side ever refer to them and their beliefs as radical, right wing? Toxic empathy is a crazy radical concept.

root, the beginning, etc. about these hate-ffilled monsters. They are reactionaries, hey never have anything new, they just regurgitate their hatred and old ideas.

REACTIONARY REICH WING. . .whatever follows.

To your point, they always go with their knee-jerk reaction to nearly everything without thinking it through. My own life experience has taught me that a knee-jerk reaction is short sighted and produces unintended consequences.

Karl Marx, Mahatma Gandhi,, Leo Tolstoy, Martin Luther King Jr., Jane Addams, and Rosa Luxembourg couldn't have said it better.

Matthew 5:3-12
“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
10
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Toxic empathy. Isn’t this what Christ was afflicted with?

Allie Beth Stuckey must have a significant mental disease.

"the poor".
🙄

or however that translated to Aramaic.

Stuckey is an authoritarian, who is using the predominant religion in her country to say "what I think is right; anyone who disagrees with me is evil. I don't care about people not like me, and I hate anyone who even seems to criticise an aspect of how I see myself". If she were in Iran, she'd be backing the religious police beating women whose hair shows from under their scarfs. If she were in North Korea, she'd be praising the Kims as supermen, and wanting anyone who complains sent to labour camps.

She sees that there's a dangerous amount of empathy in the Christian Bible that would undermine her authority, so she's gaslighting her followers, to get them to believe that what a Christian should do is order everyone around.

Being a good, honest person with integrity is no longer valued.
