Thinking it over it hit me god is afraid of humans and what they can achieve that being said god in the bible is not immortal but a mortal asshole with powers.
So yeah that's about it.
Another example of small minded thinking...
Tell me sandy, have you ever watched a movie who plot line centered around time travel? Even if you are not a time travel movie fan, I'm sure you get the basic primise. Change something in the past, even something very small and it can have a dramatic consenquences in the future. The further back you go the greater the change to the future. God said the reason He confused the languages of man was not because of the tower persay, it was because whatever we come together to do we would accomplish. Now only simpleton would assume from that time till this 'man' would only come together to do 'good things.' Look at all of human History, and tell me you only see 'good' things. Look just at WWII and the pure evil that came from it. Now if all of man were united on Hitler's front, and 'we' decided to wipe away one single portion of the population, what would stop us? Now try and imagine how many times this would have played out from the time of bable till now. Who would be left?
We are here, because God confused the language of man. Change that and man may not have survived this long.
WWII was largely driven by religious beliefs. Much of the horror of history comes from religious people make war over who had the right beliefs. Even those worshiping the same god. Much of the horrors of history comes from people with great power believing they're always right, and people who disagree should die. Which is a lot like how Yahweh runs things, yet we're supposed to think he's the good guy.
Now look at modern times. What are the best countries in the world? The ones where leaders are treated like public servants, instead of rulers, and everyone is given basic Human rights. The worst countries in the world? Theocracies and dictatorships. Whatever your god is doing, it isn't working. He's not helping.
