But I'm sure someone will come along to say 'He works in mysterious ways'
The Tower of Babel? Did you forget or just decide to ignore this part?
with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves;
Man has tried to put themselves above God forever. I'm sure you wouldn't understand why this was not good....I mean, man has always had nothing but the best of intentions, right?

Dude. Wikipedia? Your source on the Bible is Wikipedia? You couldn't even go to the Bible?
Man has never gotten along with themselves, and nowhere does it say God destroyed their efforts because he was jealous. You can't make it up as you go.
Also, language is not the original source of conflict.
If language were the problem we would all be getting along now with all the translators etc.

Yeah, I figured most people on this board wouldn't recognize the actual verses. Considering they skip all the parts about accepting immigrants, keeping slaves, not eating shellfish or other non-kosher foods, all people being created in his image, etc.

So an omnipotent God didn't like the united people building a tower to the heavens? Why is that? Were they threatening his prominence?
quote:
The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
I mean I don't know but that whole "nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them" sounds like jealousy to me.
