Some voices on the Christian right are arguing the virtue of empathy has become a vice. Those Christians claim empathy can manipulate people into accepting what they see as sins, like abortion access and LGBTQ+ rights.

    When people have to choose between religion and their politics, they modify their religion to fit their politics.

      Or they modify politics. See the Middle-East.

    And a good Christian can practice empathy while remaining vigilant against temptation. That’s what Jesus did, isn’t it?

    I dunno, it might have worked as an argument, before they turned on Jesus.
