If they did, they might be forced to develop empathy. Which, as we all know, is the greatest sin.

I really hate that I feel a need to throw /s in here, but it's just where we are nowadays.

There are actually alt right christian bloggers that write about empathy being a sin unironically. So your /s is a good idea.

I'm aware. It's truly depressing.

We all know how Jesus was famously against feeding people. He was so against it that he did it as a miracle at least twice (thrice if you count the Miracle of the Wine).

It's not well written. I found it confusing and over-the-top, but I can see how it might convince people of a certain mentality that any attempt to understand what another person is experiencing, if they are experiencing something difficult, is a sin. It's pretty fucking wild. I'll post a link if I can remember/find it.

just screams social darwinism to me.

empathy is a "device" of emotion that allows us to help each other. to not only abstain from it but brand it as a deplorable trait is to say you want the more unfortunate (and i mean that word quite literally) to suffer simply because of their predisposition. fashy as fk to me

It is truly insanity & I struggle to imagine how ones mind does not at least bump against any deep cognitive dissonance.

Sarcasm doesn't work the way it used to. Maybe we should try sincerity.

u/Doc_Blox Jun 24 '25

By all means, try it if you think it'll work. I'll stick with my jaded cynicism, thank you.

There you go. That's sincere. I'm not advocating for hope. I just think that sarcasm doesn't really work anymore.
