To overindulge what was already a weak navel-gazing metaphor, the whole point of that story was to warn against hubris that sounds just like:
> But that's good news for us, the plebs, since the interests of the old Gods aren't aligned with ours
And it kind of mirrors how I feel about this whole situation and sentiments like yours: just naïveté and hubris.
- cato_the_elder 4y ago:-) You have a valid point about overindulging in that metaphor, but I guess I can't stop myself. Genesis was supposedly written by one of the main promoters of the guy who didn't want the tower built. We should be aware of his biases when it comes to moralizing. History is written by the victors. Hopefully the next version of Genesis will be written by those who want people to talk to each other freely.
