Just heard of this idea last week and it was used in this vid of potential jurors who said they could not bring themselves to find the murderer guilty OR punish him.


For a great and short 5-minute Prager U background, also check out this vid.

So, the questions are:
  1. What do you think of the idea of suicidal empathy?
  2. Do you believe it is possible for a society to embrace suicidal empathy?
  3. Are you guilty of suicidal empathy? Why or why not?

Another example.

wrangler this world has lost its mind . And i have no desire to entertain its madness .
I actually watched this entire video you sent concerning the empathy .
And the reasons they gave for why or why not are totally about as dumb as anything i ever heard .
And to entertain this madness is about just as dumb .
THE WORLD gonna do as the world gonna do .
The sheep need to preach JESUS to this world . Its all a dog and pony show my friend . Have you not figured that out yet .
Dumb as dirt i would be to even entertain this madness .
The world gonna do and gonna beleive as it do and believes .
WHEN YA TAKE GOD out of the box and preach at most inclusive false anti christ love , WHAT THE HECK do ya think gonna take over
CONFUSION and EVIL . now get every man woman and child out of those ecumiencal intefaith churches .
And let us all simply preach JESUS to all that has breath and all sound biblical doctrine .

I think suicidal empathy is a pitfall western society has gotten into as a result of uplifting feminine traits over masculine ones.

I believe the closest I've gotten to suicidal empathy was in the past when I used to make friends with women I didn't respect because I knew I had a better home life. It was as if I felt like I owed them friendship based on how fortunate my own situation was. It never worked out because eventually my lack of respect for their character came through.

I think suicide empathy is the flip side of Christs sacrificial love. The carbon copy that tries to mimick Christs and by extention Christians unconditional sacrifice for another.

The world or should I say satan always gets it back the front because he is of the world and the worls is of the self. Because the world is the self and attends and pleases the self immediately. So everything else by extention because back the front. Christ full life becomes a full life in this world.

As Christ said anyone who loves his life will lose it and whoever loses his life in this world will have eternal life. So a full life in this world is literally aiming to kill your soul and deep down we know it. That sort of makes it even more rebellious and denied.

We hear about the science informing us as to what is the ideal we should hold up for a happy and health person anf family and by extension society. Much of the time it shows the ways of the world to be bad for a persons wellbeing, bad for families and societies. Yet many still want to claim all is the same and it does not matter.

Which goes to show that this is not about rights or what is best but about how people, families, societies and the world should be ordered. Whether there is a God or that we are the gods of ourselves and this world.

If Christ is the way, truth and life. Then those against Him are for the anti way, truth and life. You are either for Christ or against Him. It is not just suicide empathy in this life but also the next.
