I’m a Christian. There is no such thing as the “sin of empathy.”
The absolutely, fundamental, essential teaching of Christ is “love your neighbour as yourself.” It is a near impossible standard set by him to guide his followers about how to treat other humans because well, love is it.
We do our best to live our lives in that direction, humbly, failingly, imperfectly. But we do our best.
Anyone preaching the “sin of empathy” needs to turn around. They are heading the wrong way.
@chriscorrigan I've seen a few posts about this but don't know the background. What do people mean by "empathy" that is the problem? Your post is presenting empathy and love as the same thing. Is that what you mean and what someone out there doesn't mean by the two words?
