INSIGHT

How Christianity Changed Valuing Children

  • Christianity introduced the Imago Dei which transformed views of children and ended practices like exposure hills and child sacrifice.
  • Allie traces this moral shift to early Christians building hospitals, orphanages, and foundling wheels that criminalized infanticide over centuries.
INSIGHT

Global Harms Against Women Versus Western Vestiges

  • Cultural attitudes toward women and girls vary globally; Allie highlights infanticide and public violence against women in Pakistan and Bangladesh as examples.
  • She contrasts those practices with Western vestiges of Christian-formed chivalry and protections for women.
ADVICE

Use Biblical Law Carefully In Immigration Debates

  • Apply Old Testament passages carefully when arguing immigration policy; consider full context like Exodus 12:49 and requirements for sojourners.
  • Allie warns that adopting OT law wholesale would imply obligations (circumcision, dietary, marital laws) not suited to modern policy.
