I’m growing less and less sympathetic to cities and city dwellers. It’s like choosing to live below an active volcano.
Well, not really, unless you count cities like Hilo (Kilauea and Mauna Loa), Naples (Italy—Vesuvius), Seattle (Mount Rainier), Catania (Mount Etna), etc.
But along that line of thinking, the first man to build cities after the Flood was Nimrod, who also established the first postdiluvian pagan system. Pretty much all cities after his (save Jerusalem IIRC, established by Melchizedek) follow Nimrod’s pattern.
