Look, I understand that as a Jew you don’t have empathy because empathy is culturally Christian but can you at least try to see how telling someone who is dealing with the fallout of leaving a religion that ruined their life is just as bad as a war criminal might be a bit fucked up?
Please just call me a kike like you want to lol
Also "war criminal" is actually a specific term and not at all the same as "20-something-year-old who joined the army as their only means to escape poverty and now is dealing with the consequences of both their actions and the trauma dealt upon them" lol. And yeah, I do think that situation is comparable to someone who used to be a missionary and would destabilize communities in the global South and used food and shelter as a bargaining chip to force impoverished people to convert to their religion, but who now has left that community because it hurt them.
Just goes to show you really can't escape your own black-and-white thinking, anon.
To everyone in the notes rightfully dunking on anon, please remember that not everyone experiences empathy and that a lack of empathy says nothing about a person's character. Anon is operating under the belief that lack of empathy means a person is bad, but please remember that that is not reality. Please be mindful of low-empathy people when you think about what language you want to use in reaction to this post.
I’ve noticed online anti-theists language is always explicitly ableist and saneist.
Calling someone delusional for being religious is not an own because experiencing delusions is not a moral failing.
Calling someone psychotic is not an own because psychosis is simply an altered state not a moral failing.
Saying someone lacks empathy is not an own because having an empathy disorder hypo or hyper empathy is not a moral issue.
Religion has little bearing on neurotype outside of specific symptoms such as scrupulosity OCD (which can be completely secular ) or delusions that use religiosity as a schema.
Psychotic people are not evil or illogical we are human people of every race and ethnicity.
Please stop moralising mental illness. Schizo-spec people can be of any religious or ethnic background and we are. much more likely to be the victims of state violence than the perpetrators.
