¶ … women, Maria and Jessica chose to take a moral Christian perspective or viewpoint and this can be seen because once she learnt of the news the aunt started praying while attempting to call the priest. In addition, in the article she also states that she wanted to allow exactly "what God intended."
This is the moral Christian theory that encompasses Christians who make a serious attempt to obey and follow the rules for their own individual behavior that have been laid out by God and stated in the Bible.

As the mentioned societies characterized themselves for athleticism, power and strength so it was not a surprising thing that those people looked down on and hated babies who were weak, dependent and immature.
