Why a lack of empathy is the root of all evil | The Independent
I really and truly cant believe this, now I know, because I hear about it often from evangelicals, that salvation through good works makes no sense as you can not offer to God anything that he has not in the first place created, inspired or destined to be so (I've lots of issues with this script for a bunch of different reasons, I dont believe in predestination for one).
However, surely some misguided dedication to good works would be far, far superior to a rote learned bible study which permits you to freaking enslave others?!
I swear the whole thing just reads more and more and more like James Hogg's Confessions of a Justified Sinner.
Anyway, to come to the point, what good is religion if it can not improve world and reconcile mankind's existence to mankind's essence?
Lucy Adeniji – an evangelical Christian and author of two books on childcare – trafficked two girls and a 21-year-old woman from Nigeria to work as slaves in her east London home. She made them toil for 21 hours a day and tortured them if they displeased her. The youngest girl was 11 years old.
