Deep dives
Understanding Toxic Empathy
Toxic empathy manipulates emotions to promote a progressive agenda, leading individuals, especially women, to believe that compassion aligns with progressive viewpoints. Through emotionally compelling narratives, this tactic pressures people into affirming decisions such as abortion and gender changes, without fully grappling with their moral implications. The failure to define and understand the true nature of these issues contributes to a skewed perception of right and wrong. It is crucial to prioritize what is true and biblically sound rather than solely focusing on feelings and narratives promoted by the media.
