The Screwtape Letters make moralistic religious arguments easy to digest and fun. This was a akward attempt to ride on a better man's coat tails. It wasn't fun and I quickly got to the point where I didn't care what the guys argument was. I don't know if I buy his differentiation of compassion and empathy. I'm certain that empathy helps you understand what anither person going through. I don't think that is as often true for compassion.
