God calls us to have compassionate hearts

Elon Musk on Joe Rogan

“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy. The empathy exploit. They’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.”

A scriptural response:

Romans 12:15 – “Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep.”

Colossians 3:12 – “Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.”

Galatians 6:2 – “Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.”

Empathy is a Western Value because Western values are built on Christ. We strive for empathy because we are all made in God’s image, of equal value and equal dignity.

Musk expresses the paganism of the postmodern world not the truth of the gospel.
