It is possible Drich has no empathy. I couldn't possibly comment.
Some people don't, and to try and understand how they experience the world is very hard for me. Empathy is my motivating force in almost everything I do, so the idea of not having it is so alien that I can barely get my head around it. It's not someone's fault either, unless they have made a conscious decision to fight against it so hard that they have "deprogrammed" themselves.
I could understand people who lack it trying to seek some other motivations or explanations. Religion, as usual, is there to offer simple answers to difficult questions, not caring about whether they are true or not.
