    Captain G. M. Gilbert, the Army psychologist assigned to watching the defendants at the Nuremberg trials:

    “In my work with the defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

    People like this are eating the same glue that Elon does.

    Anyone thinking that empathy is a liability rather than an advantage are fucking stupid.

    You know who I blame? Jesus. Going round teaching people to care about one another regardless of creed and colour. His toxic empathy has really ruined Christianity.

    Sadly, this is a thing.

    Witnessing to Liberals by Ron Rhodes

    God’s primary attribute is said to be love. His holiness, judgment, and wrath are practically ignored. Thus, it is not surprising that liberal Christians hold out the hope of immortality for all people. The idea that any will spend eternity in hell is rejected.

    The writing spends a lot of time arguing against the “mischaracterizations of evangelicals”, while mischaracterizing “liberal Christians”.

    Such a horrible out world view.

    (I don’t care to find out what this detestable person has to say about Atheists.)
