Anti-LGBTQ+ Christian activist Sean Feucht said in a video published on September 29 that the entire state of Minnesota has been “hijacked with toxic empathy towards … the LGTBQ community,” Muslims, and “so many other groups” that have allegedly “hijacked the niceness or the empathy of the church.
…
The concept of “toxic empathy” should be purged from Christianity like one of the highest forms of heresy. I’m talking Deus Vult levels of purging.
Ok so “Toxic Empathy” means “others having empathy for people you hate”.

I’m an atheist, but in cases like these I hope that they are right and get re-routed to hell for being a hypocrite and asshole.
How hard can it be not to throw stones on other people?

I think one of the quickest ways to atheism is to read the Bible. Granted you have to be able to critically think though.
Yep…it was hard getting through the old testament. I read about half the decided if God exists it’s definitely not the Christian god. That was when I was 12…
Some churches have actually been asked to stop giving Jesus’ sermons, for fear that they are woke.
If Jesus came back to America he’d be shot within one minute of opening his mouth for being a “Communist”.
Whether he gets shot by the CIA or some random Magat is up to chance.
I bet a few of them could get onboard with stoning unruly children. (Mark 7. The law Jesus cited and accused the Pharisees of not following is about stoning children who talk back to their parents.)
If you wondered why conservative Christians come up with awful shit in the Bible… it’s because the Bible has awful shit to come up with.

“Toxic Empathy,” just what Jesus always warned about🤣
“Blessed are the powerful, for we kick ass”
Yes, I recall the passage clearly. “Love thy neighbor,” he said, “Unless the fucker is brown or queer. Then fuck 'em up!”
“And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love”
But only the correct kind of love that we condone and pre-approve.
There’s no hate quite like Christian love.
Jesus, famous for all the hate he spewed.
Empathy of the church. Like the empathy for all the raped children? Or for the abused women?
Can’t hijack something that doesn’t exist.
Ahhhh yes my favorite part of the Bible is how the religion was created from lack of empathy. These people are creating their own demise.
Not soon enough
Conservatives are biologically unable to experience empathy. That’s why conservatives refer to empathy as fake or evil. They really do believe that because they cannot experience it.
A lack of empathy is why conservative relationships are so shallow. Conservatives love their families as property, not as humans with whom they can empathize. A conservative man loves his wife the way a teenager loves a sportscar. It’s a strong emotion, but it is not a deep emotional bond. A deep emotional bond is impossible without some amount of empathy.
This biological inability to experience empathy is also why bigotry comes so easily for conservatives. It’s why genocide comes so easily to them. It’s why war comes so easily to them. It’s how they are able to genuinely delight in the suffering of the vulnerable.
Understand that a conservative will never see a normal person as a human, because they cannot humanize others.
It is not only immoral to keep a relationship with a conservative, it is deadly dangerous. They do not value your life and never will. Because they simply can’t.
Love thy neighbor unless they’re fucking queer or brown.
But…Jesus was brown…and probably gay, too.
Actually I’d argue it’s been hijacked by pedophilia.
Right, on the same day it’s come out that Trump is making it harder for US citizens abroad to vote, and Hegseth has announced a ‘Department of Religious Affairs’ in the military which appears to exclusively be for Cristian Pastors/soldiers.
…and the claim is LGBTQIA+ people are hijacking the US?
It’s always projection with them.
I CANT imagine WHY people are Leaving the Church!
What makes empathy toxic?
Actually having it, rather than being a hypocrite.
If it’s for the “wrong” recipients.
That’s sonservatives in a nut shell. Their whole world view is based on the conviction, that their ways are the correct ones which everyone has to live by. No exceptions.
“Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.”What he wants people to hear is “empathy misapplied to those who do not deserve it”. What he’s really trying to do is normalize psychopathy and Machiavellianism.
Christians don’t actually believe in the Bible. It’s all a scam. If they did, they would eat him alive in the name of Jesus for ever referring to empathy as “toxic.”
