RE: https://mastodon.social/@kottke/117513639816516620 EMPATHY is the foundation of Jesus' New Command: ❝ John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” ❞ if 66% of white "evangelicals" reject #empathy, they reject the gospels and Jesus’ teachings, aka evangelism. in other words, A MAJORITY OF WHITE EVANGELICALS REJECT CHRISTIANITY. they are the original definition of bigots: people who kill in the name of god. a term that btw originated during the era of intra-european crusades.
