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

Because anything that doesn't make sense was suddenly an obvious allegory the whole time.

How can someone overcome their "confusion of god"? Isn't he supposed to be unknowable? And I thought this "god consciousness" would be more akin to the knowledge after eating the forbidden fruit, which wasn't the original state.

Jesus explain those who are outside of the Kingdom (those who have not returned to the inner state of God consciousness) are kept blind so they can't repent or return. In short the Bible is a code that explains those who had a higher consciousness were made to return to a lower level because they agreed to help the lower level rise up higher.

I'm not sure how to respond to this...

You know what else has returned? This thread. From the underworld.
