Is the Lord afraid of His children?

[plasticprophet]

I have to write about this, because I think it's one of the most important inferences I've ever read. It comes from Chuck Palahniuk's latest book, "Haunted," in the poem about Reverend Godless titled "Babble." I'm reading the book through twice, and only on this second reading did I stop to consider this. The reasoning is delightful. Chuck

Or does God realize as we do now that there is no tower high enough to reach. A bunch of people together form a mob mentality to reach heaven and God scatters them to create more varied people and thought. Is this fear? What does God have to fear from we who think we know so much? Sorry I am just a random passer through, but your post caught me.

Interesting. So to your reasoning, what God established by scattering the Babelites was diversity? Maybe, maybe. Perhaps He scattered us and stopped our silly pursuit to reach Him because He knew we could never succeed. Perhaps the sky is yellow. Indeed, sometimes it is. Humanity has always had an over-inflated ego.
