    No, she wasn’t Lutheran. I’m from the south, so she was probably some type of evangelical Baptist schism. There were so many different little splits of protestants in my hometown.

    Not to mention that most Christians around where I’m from just go on vibes rather than specific theology. I didn’t mean to specifically draw attention to my classmate’s religion though. I just meant that she reminded me of this very vibes based thing Grimes has going. A very empty statement of empathy towards everyone without truly meaning it or knowing what they’re saying.

    Expressing universal empathy can be good though, it’s good to recognize shared humanity. It falls apart when you’re doing like Grimes and repeating Nazi ideology.
