Toxic Empathy

How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion

Allie Beth Stuckey

In 'Toxic Empathy', Allie Beth Stuckey explores how progressives exploit Christian compassion by using empathy as a tool of manipulation. She delves into five heated issues: abortion, gender, sexuality, immigration, and social justice. Stuckey argues that progressives use catchy mantras to present their perspectives as empathetic, while ignoring the other side of the moral equation. The book is about submitting empathy to God’s definitions of love, goodness, and justice, equipping Christians with research-backed, Biblical truths to dismantle progressive lies that have permeated culture and the church.

Today Allie discusses the ethical implications of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's deportation operations, highlighting the lack of due process and the high number of asylum-seekers affected. She contrasts the current outrage with historical actions under President Obama. Allie also critiques the media's role in manipulating public sentiment and questions the authenticity of recent protests over the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Additionally she addresses the ethical concerns surrounding surrogacy — like Meghan Trainor's newest baby — citing the exploitation of women and the psychological impact on children.
