The Tower of Babel story, when viewed through a misotheistic lens, reads not as a warning against pride, but as a moment of panic from a fragile god, confronted with the possibility that humanity might unify and transcend its assigned station.

Thank you for admitting that you hate God.

Language, identity, and nationhood are all artificially imposed mechanisms to keep humanity weak and distracted.

Reminds me a bit of the story of Prometheus and how he was punished when seen from that angle.

>And the LORD said, “Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
How else do you interpret this? And why the "we" if it's just the one God? For that matter, why the "go down" if God is in all places at once?

Some day humanity will triumph over these alien oppressors

It was a warning against globalism and race mixing.

a warning against pride, retard, as its been interpreted for 4000 years.
>And why the "we" if it's just the one God?
Trinitarian God.

Why does God need to do anything if he is everything?
Have a little intellectual honesty.

So why does God care about whether they can do anything if nothing they do can affect him?
>Trinitarian God.
The Trinity is still explicitly a single God.
>Why does God need to do anything if he is everything?
Doing something is one thing, but he can't "go" somewhere because he's already there in the city and everywhere else.

Paul was low-key against the demiurge and his archons, so it fits.

That was a retcon later.

>>17818079 (OP) Why don't you say as it is?
>when viewed through the lens of an atheist
Are you really that dishonest?

>>17819490
Because I'm not an atheist. I believe this god exists.

Why was he so mad about them building a tower then?

The guy in your image is Enki, who is a good Nordic who helps the humans triumph over the Reptilian oppressors

The Tower of Babel comes from a Babylonian ziggurat called the “Etemenanki”
