[Faith-talk] false accusations

[Barbara Hammel]

I learned about all the evils of Roman and Greek civilization just by 
reading National Geographic.  We must study history so we can learn why 
civilizations crumble.  It doesn't do to say that was them and we're 
different.  Ecclesiastes says it best what the refrain is "There is nothing 
new under the sun."  All the evils we're thinking up now are not new, just 
coming to a different place.
