Even as an ex-Christian, the "empathy is sin" idea does not make sense to me as a Christian concept. Did they forget about Romans 12:15? Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. That's empathy.

Trump’s foreign aid demolition hits major Christian charities
In a closed-door meeting, U.S. officials touted their success in “zeroing out” foreign assistance, but the downsizing has clipped religious allies, too.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.
The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.

I still remember way back before Musk was illegally destroying US foreign aid that time when he claimed he’d give $6B to the UK WFP if they could tell him how it would solve world hunger & then he ignored the response & gave $5.7B to his own charity & no one ever found out where it went from there
