America Is...


Recommended Posts

O.o doomed in terms of what?...

there is no such thing as the greatest country...not on earth anyways.. Some say any of Britain's commonwealths are great places to love in but ehh they ban/censor any video games/ tv series they don't like, such as some south park EPs, and call of duty games....

Some other eauro contries come to mind, but they got high tax rates o_O.

 

Babylon???? As in the ancient city in Mesopotamia? Looks like some googlers got their geography messed up...

well look there, some contradictions. It was founded on Christian principles...but today it depends on who you ask...

oligarchy? Hmmm depends who you ask too...

so in play? Play of what? Football???

America hard to see? O.o well that's debate amongst those with difficulty seeing....

This is in reference to globalization centering around the US, and parallels that can be drawn to a biblical story in which the entire population of the world, as one unified force, thought themselves great enough to build a tower all the way to heaven, so they could match the power of God. This resulted in the tower being destroyed, and the people scattered, with variations in language created so that such an effort could not be attempted again.

 

Said unified humanity was known as Babel, as was the tower, and many believe this city was based on the historical Babylon.

Actually, you're almost completely wrong. Babel was, according to the Bible, before Babylon existed, and was just after Noah's Ark and the great flood. It wasn't a unified humanity, so much as the repopulation after the flood that had yet to disperse.

 

Different Islamic and Jewish traditions say that Bablyon, and its Ziggurat that it later built, was founded in that spot, but Babylon and Babel are not the same thing. More accurately, Babel is thought to be in what became Babylonia, which was the entire region as opposed to a single city.

 

But that's not what the America = Babylon is talking about, at all.

 

Babylon came al

It's referring to this, as well as the Book of Revelations as a whole.

 

It's calling America wicked, and the center of the end of the world.

America is whatever Aaron Sorkin is ranting/masturbating about.

 

The second result is just people searching for a clip of the first episode of The Newsroom iirc

 

Where the guy guys into a massive rant about how America isn't the greatest country anymore, but that it used to be.
