As a christian, how did you handle the problems with the Tower of Babel?

Ah, Yes! Because you said:

Quote:If anything, God told a bronze age goat herder
"IF" Two little letters that qualify this whole premise. "If God Told anyone," then God wanted it to be known. If God wanted it known, He would have perserved what had been said. (Remember He is God) This has been shown to be true time and time again when we 'find' older examples of the bible than what we currently have, and compare what was written to what we have. (Dead sea Scrolls)

Quote:who told another herder who could write, who then passed it one to another who copied that one before that original was lost, repeat Ad nauseam, until after several translations later, DRICH reads the script but doesn't directly interpret it in the common vernacular, but instead twists it's meaning more than silly putty to make it say what he wants it to say.
Do you not understand how the bible was written and subsequently transalted? Do you want a link to help you understand? For it seems you have confused the koran with the bible.

Quote:You have no special insight on what this refers to beyond it's direct reading.
What are you talking about? @ 10,000 ft the air becomes to thin to breath, (one has about 2 mins before they black out,) so construction would have to had stopped way short of 10,000 ft. I was being very generous @ 10,000 ft. It is far more likly they could not have built a structure more than 1000 ft high which is 2x's the size of any masionary building in the world. Why? the tensile strength of (any known) the mud baked bricks would not support a structure any taller than that.

Now because Heaven is not located at 10,000 God had nothing to worry about. Therefore If Man could not literally build a tower to Heaven then we must yield to what was written in the text. In that God divided the people of Bable to slow their collective progress.
(Not because you think the bible says: God/Heaven was at 10,000 ft or lower)

Quote:God had israel destroy people because the con-men prophets had no idea how to increase vegetable crops or maintain sustainable animal husbandry. They had to invade because they were too stupid and could only acquire sustenance for growth by animalistic killing of neighboring clans.
Which does what? Supports His people and perserves the Linage of Christ...
You have a worker bee mentality. You look only at the gears and which way the turn. You do not seem to care what or why any of it works or the purpose of it.

Take a step back a look at the bigger picture.

Quote:So they talk to each other do they?
For the purposes of allowing the" sheep hearders "to understand whatever the dialog God has yes..

Quote:What could one omniscient being tell another that isn't useless dunder-headery?
It's clear by what Chirst says about the last days that not all three are independantly omniscient. Omniscients only describes a Quality of God, Remember God is a title of the whole and not a indivisual's name. As In God the Father God the Son God the Holy Spirit. All Three together as God Share this quality. For again in Mark 13 and Mat 24 Christ admits to not know the time of the final judgement. (Only the Father knows.)

Quote:EW! Using a verse to refer to itself is using perfect circular reasoning. Not a single dent on that ring..
Your confused. Gen 11 is an example of God slowing the progress of Man. (It says so on page) You asked where does the bible show God slowing the progress of Man. I pointed to and pasted the revelant scripture.

This is not circular reasoning. this an example of a someone who has a sunday school understanding of the bible. Then refuses to consider that his sunday school understanding of it, is at fault when someone says some thing different then what he currently understands. Which leads this person to seek reasoning to make him come off of his very specific interpertation EVEN IF what is said on page contradicts his sunday school diploma.

Again not circular reasoning, just plan ole pride on your part. You believe that you have a complete understanding of what you choose to discuss, and flat out (not trying to be mean) you don't. It is honestly like trying to have a conversation with someone who's only point of reference is an illustrated children bible. It's like you want to argue the pictures you saw and the story YOU Created around those pictures. When someone points to something other than the pictures you know, you want to dismiss them or trivialize/insult anything other than what little you seem to understand from your pictures.

So bottom line brake man if you want to ask questions i am fine and good with that, and will happily answer any questions you may have. If however you want to mock and make fun, I can do that too. It's up to you.
