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

Interesting theory, but when the author was writing the story, he failed to put in the correct cues to give the reader the understanding that the story was meant to be taken allegorically. Thus, it is a mistake in the communication attempt by the authors, whose reputation as a divinely inspired author disintegrates if their words are not perfect communications of god. If the story is not to be read at face value then one needs a magic decoder ring, which you do not have, only baseless assertions. I could claim that what god means in this story is to instruct man to wash the underside of his car after a day at the beach and I would have just as much evidence for my position as you do for yours - none, just a bare assertion.

Citation needed, where does the bible state man's purpose as such?
Whose level of consciousness and how do you define it?
Why would return be prohibited? DNF

Citation seriously needed! What verse?

Why would a loving god who is going to punish us if we do wrong, give us his rules in code?
Can you imagine a father who beats his children when they disobey him, but he only gives them instructions in a code they don't understand clearly.
What a fucking ass!!!
Find the cure for Fundementia!
