“The reality of the world’s great religions, however, has now become inescapable for all Westerners… as devotees of these religions reside among us as our neighbours, not merely as figures in textbooks or missionary photographs.”
Stackhouse, J.G. Jr. (2001) No Other Gods Before Me? - evangelicals and the challenge of world religions. Grand Rapids: Baker
As narcissism has waxed, empathy has waned. In 2010, researchers at the University of Michigan reported that contemporary college students scored about 40 percent lower than their predecessors in the 1970s on tests assessing their ability to put themselves in other people’s shoes. They were more likely than their parents’ generation to agree with statements like “other people’s misfortunes do not usually disturb me a great deal,” and less likely to agree with prompts like “I sometimes try to understand my friends better by imagining how things look from their perspective” and “I often have tender, concerned feelings for people less fortunate than me.”
