Christianity eventually brought about many changes that made life more pleasant for all.   Sunday was established as a day of rest.  Strong family ties became very important.  Women were treated better, and the poor and sick were cared for. 


What year do you think this describes?

Slaves were treated more kindly, and finally slavery was abolished.


Does this give you an extra hint?


The killing of little babies came to an end.


At what point does this sound most like what we are going through today, or is it merely the aspirations of a future, or not at all important to you?   Perhaps you were taught to look out for number one ...you come first, and others are significantly unimportant in comparison.


Last hint: 


The gladiatorial shows were done away with, and human sacrifice came to an end.


Okay, I'll tell you ...this was the Dark Ages of Europe, or as some would say, the Middle Ages, from A.D. 500 to about the time Columbus was to sail to the New World.   Some refer to it as Medieval ...but I refer to it as mid-evil to extreme evil.


I don't want to return to those days, do you?  When Columbus came to the 'New' World, there was a very slow departure from the 'old'.  But eventually we began to get it somewhat.  Now, however, it is frightening how ...with near lightning speed, we are allowing emotional rhetoric and radical mindsets to return us to the eventual failure to be whom we have strived so long to become.  Let's not be blind to history, and repeat the horror!!
