So I know that's just one example, but I do think people are waking up to this. And I think the national election proves that as well.

Yes, that is true. And we do believe in original sin that we are fallen creatures. The Bible teaches that we have inherited the sin of Adam. And that's why Jesus is so great. He's presented as the second Adam because through Adam, we got sin, we got death, we got brokenness, what we call in the Christian world, fallenness.

Man fell and we've been suffering all of the repercussions of that since then. But through Jesus... the second Adam, we get redemption and we get forgiveness and we get sacrifice from sin. So really the whole gospel is the idea that like we are not enough. I know that we're talking about toxic empathy, but my second book is that we're actually not good enough. We're not enough on our own.

We're not enough for our own salvation. You talked about reaching a higher truth. Of course, we believe that. And we believe that that truth is in Jesus Christ himself, but I mean, speaking of Jesus, when we're talking about toxic empathy, some people believe that, well, actually it's Jesus who taught that empathy is the most important value, but that's not really true.

He said that the greatest commandments are to love God and love our neighbor. And if we love God, he says, you will keep his commandments. And so actually, the love that we are called to as Christians is inextricably intertwined with the truth. Actually, 1 Corinthians 13, 6 says that love never rejoices in wrongdoing. It never rejoices in wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

And so, I mean, you're right about the theology that is really opposed to a lot of the postmodern, morally relativistic, what I call the God of self meology that we are seeing today that I think gets us both the toxic culture of self-love and the toxic empathy that we're talking about.
