In case you’re wondering, the story I’m referring to is the Tower of Babel story found in Genesis 11: 1-9, in which god is none too happy that those uppity humans started to work together to build something so grandiose as a tower. So he screws with their language and scatters them all over the earth to make sure that shit don’t happen again.

Yeah. That worked out pretty good.

Oh and if you’re wondering about Winston, he left early on an extended weekend to attend a smoked ham convention in Duluth so I found some clipart to stand in for him. He’ll be back on Monday.

Oink.

When I came to the site today mozilla freaked out and told me you’d been flagged as an attack site. You might want to look into that.

And find a new star… I doubt Winston will be coming back from the con.

  i’ve had the same happen twice from Avast (my anti-virus program)…. it happened when i clicked on the link to the comics and comments sent in e-mails when users comment here.

    I think what happened is that I was trying to add a thumbs up/down option for comments and the plugin I was using caused google to mark the site.
    
    I deleted it and asked google to review the site again.
    
    Sigh.
    - freethinkin franklin
      
      not convinced that is the issue… the first time i clicked the link it installed malware on my machine.. took 2 days to get it off…. the second time Avast caught it because it knew what to look for, but none the less it tried to instalol malware again…. could be the plug in is “dirty” but i never used the thumbs up/down option…. hope this info helps in finding the bug…. hope you keep track of IP’s so if it is a virus uploaded by a user you can track down who did it…

        What link did you click on, Franklin?
      - freethinkin franklin
        
        the link in the e-mail i get for every comment posted here… it brings the user back to the page containing that comment.

  I’m trying to track this malware down. Unfortunately, google’s detailed report, although it tells me where the malware is being hosted, doesn’t tell me what part of the page is linking to the malware. If someone can give me some more info, where they clicked, how they got here, etc, to get the download for malware, I’d appreciate it.

    my better half is a wiz with this stuff…. she’ll be home in a few hours , i think she documented the issue we had here so if it happened again it could be fixed faster…. i do know she found the repair and discusion of the issue at http://www.malware.ps.com/blogs/
    - Sleepingkirby
      
      Well, curse my diligence. I don’t usually have that turned on because I check the updates manually. Thanks. And when your better half comes back, please post what info you have. Thanks.

Yeah my Norton antivirus keeps flagging this site. I’d not be surprised if not enterprising theist has chosen to bear false witness in order to ‘protect’ the “truth’ of Christ.

Got Texas?

Yeah strange thing that, Creationists go all nutters trying to find Noah’s Ark. Which is supposed to rest upon the mountainS of Ararat. Yet you’d think a Babylonian Tower tall enough to piss God off would’ve left some kind of imprint still detectable today.

After all the tallest building we have nowadays is The Burj Khalifa, 2,723 feet. And it apparently isn’t tall enough to outshine the Tower of Babel.

Ah the engineering feats of Babel. Far and away exceeding modern day construction techniques….

  You know, I wonder how tall it actually was, this tower of babel. I mean, for all we know, it was built by some drunk guys with sticks that wasn’t any taller than a person. And then when they all sobered up, they went “Duuude! You should have been there last night. We built like this tower, it was awesome, then Bob was all like ‘This is against god! We have to destroy it!’. But before Bob tore it down, it was awesome.”

The other thing that’s often overlooked is that in the story, God destroyed the tower of Babel because he was afraid that humans would be able to do anything, and they’d rival him. In other words, God’s a father who doesn’t want his children to do as well as him.

I wrote this modern retelling a while back: http://www.ooblick.com/weblog/2007/09/20/retelling-the-classics/

  “he was afraid that humans would be able to do anything” If god made humans shouldn’t he have been able to control for the whole being able to do anything factor?

You think that an omniscient, omnipresent “god” would notice we sent something from the blue rock he supposedly put us on to the red one.
