Right? If the Christian god exists, it's domain isn't just restricted to Earth. They ostensibly created the whole universe.
I think that it is a joke and not meant to be taken so seriously
Religion?
I can imagine it started that way. "Hey dude, guess what nonsense I've dreamed last night. Bet you Bert will eat it as real..."
I mean I feel like the tower of Babyl story kinda proves that was the goal.
Humans made a tower trying to reach the heavens so god fucked up our language.
But he was perfectly okay with us building rockets and going to the moon.
So either the tower of Babyl had already breached atmosphere when god shut it down or he wanted humans to stay on earth
Dude went from helicopter mom to having left for cigarettes smh my head
You could argue the Tower of Babyl story is more about hubris. Even if it wouldn't work, building it with the intention to physically enter heaven is hubris. Nobody is building and launching a Saturn V with the expectation that the astronauts are going to step off the craft in the middle of heaven.
Clearly you've never heard of Space Jesus
Anyone getting to space alive used heresy to do it. Eternel hellfire it is. Ain't 'love' grand?
