It looks like archeologists have discovered the earliest known examples of a human massacre<\/a>.\u00a0 Before this, the earliest find was 5000 years old.\u00a0 Now how this works out, and the accuracy of it remains to be seen. I\u2019m always a little skittish when the headline reads \u2018scholars discover new thing that just happens to coincide with the latest issue or topic everyone is talking about.\u2019\u00a0 It could be right of course.\u00a0 It\u2019s not like Christianity would be shocked to find people have been capable of evil from ancient times.\u00a0 Which is why as crazy as things seem in our world, sometimes it helps to take a breath and remember, there really isn\u2019t anything new under the sun.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
