Look at this image. Bernie Wrightson's creature, broken, isolated, head buried in hands. This is what happens when creation goes wrong. When good intentions birth monsters. When empathy becomes our god instead of our tool. @MattWalshBlog saw it coming. Two weeks before Charlie Kirk was murdered by Tyler Robinson, a deranged LGBT extremist living with his transgender boyfriend, Walsh warned us about the danger of these people. "When I say that these people are very dangerous," Walsh posted after the shooting, "it's not fear mongering. It's the truth. Now I say again: it will get worse." He was right. But the roots go deeper than LGBT extremism. They go back to the Frankenstein monster we've been building in our churches for decades. A monster called "toxic empathy." The creature kneeling in the straw isn't evil because Victor Frankenstein was cruel. He's broken because Frankenstein created him with emotion, not wisdom. With feeling, not truth. With empathy for death, but no thought for the consequences of life. That's exactly what happened to Tyler Robinson. That's what's happening to modern Christianity. We've created a Frankenstein monster that prioritizes feelings over Scripture. And now it's killing people. empathy without truth is deadly. Charlie Kirk understood this. He literally said "toxic empathy can be used as an unclean spirit to destabilize the church." He warned that empathy without boundaries leads to affirming sin and supporting destructive policies. Your empathy for someone's gender confusion compels you to use their pronouns. Your empathy for Tyler Robinson's mental illness excuses his violence. Your empathy for the "marginalized" blinds you to their victims. It's not complicated. Empathy can lead you to compassion. Or it can lead you to enable evil and call it love. Tyler Robinson was the product of toxic empathy. A generation told that feelings matter more than truth. That personal pain justifies any response. That society's rejection of your identity gives you the right to destroy. The universities that taught him empathy for every cause except truth. The churches that prioritized inclusion over instruction. The culture that celebrated his "authentic self" while ignoring his dangerous instability. Like Frankenstein's creature, Tyler was consciousness without purpose. Existence without belonging. Rage without righteousness. Matt Walsh called it what it was: "demonic forces from the pit of Hell." But those forces didn't come from nowhere. They were created in laboratories of misguided compassion. In churches that chose empathy over truth. In institutions that prioritized feelings over facts. In communities that enabled destruction while calling it love. The creature in Wrightson's image is alone because his creator gave him life without meaning. Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Kirk because his creators gave him victimhood without responsibility. Grievance without grace. Empathy without boundaries. The result? A monster that turns on society while demanding society's understanding. Churches that affirm sin while calling it love. Leaders who enable destructive behavior while congratulating themselves on their compassion. Paul warned us: "Love does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth" (1 Corinthians 13:6). Truth must lead. Not feeling. Not empathy. Not even good intentions. Charlie Kirk died because he refused to bow to the monster. He wouldn't use Tyler's pronouns. Wouldn't affirm his transgender boyfriend's delusions. Wouldn't validate the toxic empathy that created them both. So they killed him. And now Matt Walsh and others are on their hit list. The creature in the barn knows he doesn't belong. He kneels because even unnatural creation recognizes the posture of prayer. But abandoned creations don't know whom to pray to. That's the tragedy of toxic empathy. It creates monsters with spiritual hunger but no spiritual home.
