Recons don't like the idea of empathy, because reasons.

How do they love reasons? Let us count the ways...

This is part 1 of 3 in "The Sin of Empathy" series.

Let's follow the progression from getting a snowball in the face and being told not to show any emotion about it if a girl is watching, to an abuser.

This is PART 2 of 2.

Wherein we learn that "Psychology" is often considered "fake science" to many Christians, but when they are Recons, the cognitive dissonance is especially astounding.

And we learn that despite theoretically having a high regard for education, Recons despite higher education.

And we also learn about how purity culture idiocy ties into all that.

[This is PART 2 of 2]

"Your body is evil."

"You are in sin for thinking a woman is beautiful."

"Your wife is a legal way you can lust."

"You are responsible for a man's sin."

These are just some of the things that cause the identity crisis that Purity Culture has created in an entire generation.

Recons would rather look through a dark glass with all of their human efforts - straining to move mountains, give to the poor, speak with tongues of men and angels, and give their very bodies to be burned - rather than have anything to do with the true definition of love. God's grace, for the recon, is something that can spoil you if you cling onto it too dearly, rather than something that transforms you the more you cling to it.

Many times, recons twist Scripture to get it to say what they want it to say. But other times, if a recon wants to do something, they will do anything they have to do to get there - even if it means do the complete opposite of what Scripture says. When push comes to shove, they are always their own law.
