You see in the case of Osama, he used the same moral system you propose, which instead of being built on empathy its built on absolute morals. You see if you use empathy and reason to try to see out another eyes, and then use rational thinking to reason out how to treat them. This works well for a moral system to go through your daily life, and works well when combined with moral utilarianism to apply to larger situations. Unfortunately your Bible falls flat on both counts because it causes suffering on a personal level by stifling expression and on a larger level causes division just like what you named above. Morality utilitarian system ground in rational thought and empathy has the precise opposite effect. It encourages unity for the betterment of everyone and free expression.
Empathy is a joke. It can be manipulated in both directions. People can and have been trained to have it if certain conditions exist and with hold it if they do not.
For example why do you think Osama started with his terror attacks in the 90s? It was because he had empathy for the people of Iraq after gulf war1. Yet showed no empathy for those who did not share his religion/skin color.
What else do you think transcends your current moral value system?
What part of EMPATHY is a Propaganda controlled response do you not get?
I gave several examples where society THIS SOCEITY has taken away all basic human rights to several different groups of people and has or is working to obliterate them!
This is NO Different than what Osama did. That's what Empthay is! It's sympathy for those in whom you've been trained to identify with. Take away their humanity with mindless propaganda and all empathy ceases.
