I may be babbling a bit myself, but there does seem to be somewhat of a parallel here.

The quote from the Book of Genesis refers to a time not too long after Noah & his family were spared the Great Flood.  How often today do we come together as one ...with one language??

That would be Twitter language, texting, Facebook, social media ...and a bunch of fake news.  I'm not talking about the typical use of the phrase "Fake news", referring to the governmental politics of reporting the happenings of today.  I'm talking about the fake news in support of evolution, and the other slant of reporting things believed to discredit the Bible.

If someone mentions an unpopular belief, they are often met with a barrage of defensive statements.  "But, that's unacceptable ...that's politically incorrect!" At least that is what I hear. Yet, since when does political correctness, which is seldom ever correct, set the standard??

Many people have a resolve to believe what they believe ...yet, political correctness does not give license to decide what can be bashed, and what offends.  And no person should feel unabashed while doing the offending ...nor should anyone claim, on the other hand, to be so easily offended that they cannot even listen to reason or another point of view.

Yet, there seems no turning back from this wayward thinking that is so quickly communicated through those 'towers' which allow us the connection between our handheld devices (which seem to become vices). These devises largely become a life support system that we draw our sustenance from, almost like a human umbilical cord.

And whether on a computer, or iPhone ...we depend upon those towers to become one with one another. There is a degree to which the information can be useful, but the facts are not always hard facts ...and they are often laden with an emotional bent which dictates how we should feel.  And these little breaths of inaccuracy much too often exhale angst, bitterness, enmity, or hostility.
