It's pretty obvious in older stories that this god wasn't originally envisioned as all powerful. The real motive of the Humans is kind of off. The verses say they wanted a tower that reached the heavens/the sky, so they wouldn't get separated from each other. No mention of wanting to do it to meet/overthrow god, or see what was on the other side of the dome, or anything. Yahweh seems to be upset by the thought that Humans can achieve something great without him, which is one of the clues that this guy is the problem. Not the solution.
The story is meant to explain why different tribes speak different languages, but the story itsself paints Yahweh in a bad light. he saw what they were accomplishing, and there's nothing in the context of that story to indicate they itnended something malicious, but somehow it offended him. Remember this is after the flood, where supposedly people had become evil enough that he had to wipe them out. So what was the issue? Why be so petty as to destroy their work, just because they weren't doing it for him, or with him in mind?
How is the jewish god not the villain in this story?
