The Tower of Babel

[Jackalope]

Actually it worked perfectly, as the Evil it eradicated no longer exists, yet man still does.. (Lest you see titans roaming around somewhere)

"Look - there it isn't"? That's your standard of credulity?

I dunno, Stimbo, I don't see too many ice giants around here. He could be right, Odin could be real.

The history section of that article suggests that stories of the Tower of Babel are based on the Hebrew exposure to the Ziggurat of Babylon. What you have there is a Jewish story about a monument that was foreign to them, and upon which Gaud took offense because it was too tall. Just because the Jews based their story on an actual tower, doesn't make the story they told historically factual.

You sir are a douch with out equal

You bock at their being no proof of a tower like that even exists.. I provide 'proof' does exist and you move the goal posts. Let's try a honest conversation. How about you (and your peers who backed you. you know who you are) conceed the first part of your argument before you move on.

Evidence that the Ziggurat of Babylon existed and evidence that the "Tower of Babel" existed are not the same thing, dipshit. You provided evidence that the tower in the story was (maybe) based on a real landmark, but you've done nothing to prove the truth of the biblical account. There is nothing to concede.

The Tower of Babel is simply a very short story about one of the collapses of the Babylonian Empire.

You always say stuff like that!

Why can't it just be a nice little story about how a god is shit scared of his followers, even in their primitive state

I've got one of those. It works so well that I've never had my gold pieces disappearing or anything. Unfortunately, my neighbor has an elf repelling device. I know that works because the elves never come to clean my house over night. Drat.

Drippy's standard for what constitutes evidence is somewhat below sea level.

And Moira gave me a mole rat repellent.

Because you can't be scared if you don't exist. There's the rub.

That was your argument though sport. you said their was no evidence the land mark was real. If you want to proceed I need to hear you concede that part of your argument.
