I have one other problem.
I cant drink one beer.
If I don't have at least a 6 pack around.
I wont even start.
If I have a 6 or 12 pack iced in the fridge.
I can sometimes only drink 3 or 4.

I don't like the taste of scotch or any whiskey for that matter.
But a ice beer in a frosted mugg
on any afternoon in Florida is Nirvana.
I have been blessed in a way.
I come from a family of alcoholics, Irish, German.
But I cant drink alcohol because I hae a hiateal hernia.
I will throw up within 30 minuts of drinking whiskey.
But I can drink light beer, Coors light, Bush light, Miller light.
i can drink up to 9 of those every so often.

It is pretty obvious he wanted them to scatter and populate the earth.
We must not be reading the same passage...to me it's pretty obvious that he didn't want them to achieve what they'd be able to with a common tounge.
Nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them -> let's confuse their language.
The scattering that this (alledgedly) caused was incedental.
But whatever. It really doesn't matter, because either way the account is demonstrably false on many levels
What he didnt want them to accomplish was stay there and grow.
He wanted them to grow throughout the earth
And in my opinion to show that man can not manage man or the earth.
We have the capacity for free will but without following God we are a failure.
I believe that is the point God is making in the bible.
Also he has given us the free will to come to that conclusion or not.
Only you know what you have put in to it.
If it is all your will, I don't think you will ever reach that conclusion.
That is why those who come to Jesus/God have to come on bended knee.
That is what the whole issue is about sovernty.
Your will or Gods will.

From my experience.
The younger you are the more you can drink without being aware of the consequences.
When I was in my 20's I drank a 6 pack of beer a day.
In my thirtys I slowed down to a 6 pack in 2 days.
In my 40's I was down to 2 beers a day.
In my 50's a six pack on the weekend.
Still holding to a six pack on the weekend in my 60's
I tried to drink everyday when I retired 3 to 6 beers a day.
But I couldnt handle it.
What I mean by I couldnt handle it is I can not process the empty calories out of my system fast enough.
Therefore my Blood pressure, weight, colesterol and blood sugar goes up.
That is a deadly combination leading to any number of dire consequences.
Also my body hurt. I could not play soccer because my knees and legs hurt.
I curtailed my drinking to a 6 pack on the weekend, my wife thinks I am only drinking 3 beers on the weekend,
no meat before dinner, little red meat mostly chicken, fish and vegetables.
And I am running like a banshee.
Playing soccer 4 nights a week. Succussfully defending and keeping up with 20 year olds.
4 90 minute games no breaks.
I realize i drink when I am bored and have nothing to do.
Soccer entertains me, gives me something to do.
On days when the games are rained out, I end up in the beer.
Thankfully it only happens about once every 2 weeks.
I will have a problem when i get to old for soccer.
The oldest person I play with now is 74.
With him as my role model I should have 12 more years
then I might go back to the bottle and die a drunk
unless I find a replacement.
My other passion is music.
But music is played in bars.
If you hang around in a barbershop long enough you get a haircut
and if you live and work in a bar you will drink.
I have already conducted that experiment on myself.
That is my experience
Results may vary.

But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 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. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel c —because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
It is pretty obvious he wanted them to scatter and populate the earth.
Now that the earth is much more populated people can communicate with one another through computers and the mass media.
But God got the earth populated.
He has made a good point that people can not do the job on their own.
Man can not successful manage the earth and animals.
God has shown that in spades.
No one will be able to dispute mans missmanagement of the earth and its
resources.
God gave man free will.
And we have shown ourselves that free will leads to greeed and greed leads to mismanagement.
I always got the message from the Garden of Eden that man can not run his life or the world without
us following God.
Satan, Adam and Eve did not want to follow God.
Genetically us being decended from Adam and Eve do not want to follow God either.
Maybe at the time of our judgment we will get to reflect on mans rule of the earth and
decide if we want to subject ourselves to God or not.
Those that don't will go without God.
If God is a myth and we are on our own we should learn from the best run countries in the world.

One eyed Joe.
It alludes to in Genesis 11:3 that they do not want to be scattered throught the earth.
3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
It is true confusing the language limited their capabilities and caused them to spread.
That is what God wanted.

It makes sense that atheist would be repressed in Christian countries.
Birds of a feather flock together and defend their own.
Which is not to say atheism is wrong it just is what it is and the way things are.
Go and form or live in an atheist country.
People in the United States have escaped atheist regimes to live here.
They also have escaped religious totalitarism.
Religion and politics are provacative subjects,
Often it is best not to talk about them in public.
If you must talk about them in a Christian country
you are going to feel the presure.
If atheism is true. It is not for everybody at this time.
So take your wisdom and find a way to profit from it.
If it is true you are way ahead on the journey.
I cant even begin to immagine why an atheist would want to be a soldier in a volunteer army.
If this life is all their is why be a soldier and risk it.
There are other ways to get free money from the government for education.

If it is true, it could be that God wanted the people to spread out and fill
the earth and not congregate in the middle east.
Confusing the languages would facilitate that.

Why isn't the world a frazzle?
by punkofnice inwhen i was a jw i had a lot of silly ideas that seemingly explained things i wondered about.
arguments from ignorance or special pleading i suppose.
actually, my conclusions were daft.. one thing i have wondered about and i don't know if anyone else has, is why man hasn't either rendered the earth to a cinder or why there haven't been more nukes go off against nations.

I think there will be a major terror attack in the US.
When the Bush family gets back in office.
Becuase they will engineer it.
That's what they do going back to the first George and the Cia.
Their cronies like Chaney make big money off war.
You can too.
When Jeb becomes president buy stocks that will profit from war.
Like Halburton,
This enginerring and profiting from war goes all through history.
It is what man does.
And the wons with the most money control things and make more money.
War is big money.
Blow it up and build it up again.
