A statement that can only be made by the historically ignorant.
Before Christians took over the Roman Empire, it was normal for Roman parents to dispose of unwanted babies (of which were mostly daughters) by simply dumping them on trash heaps. This was a practice known as 'exposure'. If babies didn't outright die, they'd be picked up by brothel owners or slavers to be turned into products for profit.
Many Christians adopted these unwanted children as their own. Because many of these children were girls, and because the conditions they grew up in weren't very fortunate, early Christianity developed a reputation for being a religion for women and poor people.
It wouldn't be until Christian Emperors like Constantine that the practice of exposure was finally equated to murder.
So yes, Christians did invent most of what we know as "Basic Human Morality" as we know it today. You stand on the shoulders of giants but are too arrogant to look down and see where your feet are planted.
Dear writers, we need your imagination, your narrative creativity and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound. https://t.co/FEmCrdQ392
