Yes, we agree that developing empathy from a young age is crucial. Early childhood is a formative period where values and social skills are best cultivated, and both education and parental guidance play essential roles in this process. By fostering empathy early on, we lay the foundation for compassionate and understanding adults. It's never too late to learn, but starting young certainly has its advantages!

Thanks for the question, this is a complex issue for sure! Religious texts are open to interpretation, and throughout history, they've been used to justify both positive and negative actions. People of the same religious denominations have used their beliefs both as justification for slavery and as justification for abolishing slavery. People picked and chose different tenets and principles from the same corpus to arrive at opposite conclusions. Quite often, individuals don't want to take ownership of their choices and their consequences. So, they project the responsibility outwards - towards the victims of their actions, towards society, or something else. This is the same reason why asking sex criminals their motive is usually pointless - they will blame the survivor, society and everything else but not take any responsibility themselves. People with sexist, racist, or intolerant views will find ways to interpret their religion in a way that validates those beliefs. People committed to values like equality, love, acceptance will focus on those aspects of their faith. When it comes to calling out microaggressions and intolerance, it depends on the context. For instance, if any religious convictions are running counter to an organisation's policies, this discrepancy would need to be pointed out politely and firmly. Maybe they might then realise that this organisation isn't the best fit for that individual. If this were someone closer like a friend, some Socratic questioning over a series of conversations might work, sprinkled with some humour and warmth. Remember to lead by example. Promote messages of tolerance and acceptance in your own interactions. Ultimately, it's up to individuals to decide how they interpret their religion. But we can all work together to create a more inclusive and respectful environment.

That’s sympathy..Empathy is feeling bad for the other without taking it deeply emotional about the situation
