Trailers for Babel (2006)
Genesis 11: "The LORD said, If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."
How, exactly, could men of a common language possibly be a THREAT if you are Omnipotent, oh Lord? So, you CRIPPLE your creation so that it doesn't question or challenge your superior station? Nice job. Next time someone threatens to shows me up on the job site, in the office, in class, I guess I should just bust out their teeth out so they can't talk anymore ... that way they won't be able to compete with me any more. Otherwise, nothing might be impossible for them. Hey, I just want to be like YOU, Father.
Babel (2006)
No, no more "looking at the bigger picture" and giving you the benefit of the doubt, Lord. We call bullshit on the "out of context" ploy given to every unfavorable reading of your alleged word. There is no room to take this story of Babel out of context; it is short, concise, and unambiguous. In the story of Babel, MAN was obviously a THREAT to god; a threat that needed to be actively dispersed and hobbled. If that threat was even remotely possible, then god is not God.
"Is God willing to prevent evil but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" -- Epicurus
