Some people, including the guy that wrote the linked article, seems to think this is about the evilness of pride. It annoys me that just about any time someone tries to do something for himself or herself, and doesn't prostrate themselves before Yahweh, it's the worst kind of sin in the world. The sin of pride. Anything less than groveling on the ground and begging someone to think for you is somehow wrong in the eyes of those who want power over you.
This passage about Babel doesn't say squat about Yahweh. It's not like they're planning to invade heaven and overthrow Yahweh. That's what he's so ticked off about. If it's not about him, it deserves destruction. If he didn't want us thinking for ourselves, he shouldn't have given us free will. or at the very least he should respect some people's choice to not follow him. Otherwise it's just a catch 22. You have a choice, but you're not allowed to use your ability to choose and be allowed happiness.
