Apparently started from a hate ministry in 2021... Dude named James White on Twitter.

"When you start with man as image-bearing creature of God, you can understand why sympathy is good, but empathy is sinful.

Do not surrender our mind to the sinful emotional responses of others."

I don't get it, "image-bearing creature of God"??

Asking religion to make sense is like asking a fish to describe outer space.

I think his point is that humans are meaningless little things made just to be in the image of "God" and should "get over themselves" since it's all about God and not at all about humanity.

Seemingly, that somehow doesn't apply to having him shut up and stop making it about himself.

The sinful emotional response caused by losing your home after the landlord tripled the rent

Yeah, I came across some article he wrote. He basically said if he hates someone, they deserve it because god says so, and if anyone disagrees with him, they are making it about "them" and not Jesus.

He evidently (understandably) got blowback on Twitter back in the day, and wrote some word vomit that sums up to "No no, you don't understand, what I said is not as bad as you think it is (it's sooooo much worse)"
