Lack of Genuine Empathy

One of the hallmarks of narcissism is a lack of genuine empathy, and this is evident in Christian narcissists as well.

While they might outwardly display acts of kindness or charity, these actions are often performed for self-promotion rather than out of genuine concern for others.

They might be quick to judge or criticize others who are struggling, attributing their hardships to a lack of faith or spiritual weakness.

Their interactions often leave others feeling unheard and unsupported.

Consider an Example:

Imagine a scenario where a church member confides in a Christian narcissist about personal struggles.

Instead of offering genuine support, the narcissist might say, “You just need to pray more and have more faith,” dismissing the person’s feelings and reducing complex issues to simple solutions that spotlight their own perceived spiritual superiority.
