• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It's not really about actual empathy. It's really about capitulating to the leftist woke agenda. They just replaced "woke" with "empathy", because "woke" was co-opted as a pejorative for their agenda.
Honestly, you're just making this up right?

Because this reads like self serving nonsense more than anything resembling reality.

for those interested in lack of empathy and narcissism psychopathy I recommend Prof. Sam Vaknin on youtube a self professed narcissist and professor teaching many and very good about these things. He said for someone like narcissism they have to be left totally without "supply"(everything they do is fake) to then have a mental collaps and rebuild from there turning bi polar instead from there you might be able to treat them.
Yes, Prof. Sam Vaknin shares in-depth information. He is good.
Here's a series for anyone hurt by narcissists, and for the narcissists too:

A quote from Chuck Kirk.


Now I look at this quote and I get seriously confused. I cannot understand why a person would have a problem with empathy.

How would the Good Samaritan Help someone that thinks their terrible without it?

How can Jesus heal someone without it?

In my view, empathy connects us and allow people sympathy to flow more greatly. It creates stronger bonds between strangers.

So help me understand how and WHY empathy is bad.
What an odd comment. Empathy is NEVER bad.

These are very good. It is very tragical. X narc that I know do cry out to God to help him, he has other mental physical issues as well. He believes, but has issues. I keep warning him. He listens. It is tragical, as he keeps praying to God to help him. Please pray for Chris Neil.
We can`t be near them, yet they were created too. And their minds ruined by evil.
It`s heartbreaking to watch. When you know they want God.
