(Image transcription/ A tweet from Bradley Onishi saying "we've been analysing the toxicity of White Evangelicalism for decades and they just tweeted it out" with a picture below seeming from the account "desiringGod" (their account title spells this as "Desiring God, in the full image from this tweet you can see a section saying "article by Joe Rigney, May 31st 2019"). The image focused on large text saying "The Enticing Sin of Empathy: How Satan Corrupts Through Compassion"/ end transcription).

The original article. These articles. Make my blood boil. I cannot fucking fathom that there are people out there that believe this shit.

Reading this, it's literally all mental acrobatics so they can justify clinging to their hatreds while dressing it up in a costume of righteousness

Abrahamic religions and their "sins"...

This is not "Abrahamic religions," this is Christianity. Empathy and feeling the pain and experiences of others is a central tenet in Judaism, especially with regard to the Passover seder. Leave us the fuck out of this.

Same goes for Islam, which is built off compassion and the understanding of one another. Our prophet stresses a mercy for all creatures. Leave us out of this too thanks.

Christianity is also built off of compassion and understanding, these guys are particularly loony even for evangelicals.
