What if the story of the tower of Babel was missing some key pieces?

The story in the christian bible is very short, not even a full chapter on it, just 9 verses lacking in real detail. You can tell there were no reports/historians there that day. What if when the people were made to talk different languages, that part of the history/truth about God and us was lost? Each language only remembering part of the truth, and that which they could not remember was erased from their records of history.

What if in each of the world religions there is a truth about God we are suppose to know? Even in the non-religion of the atheists. And in knowing these truths, is the only true way to God.

What if what God wants from us is find the truths, find a way to link the truths, and unite the world without deleting any religion? That would mean no religion is better than another but also that no religion got it all correct either. could the world survive this? Would the world religious leaders and the world leaders be able to wrap their minds around this concept and bring about this unity?

The problem is from inside a religion it all sounds like it is the truth, from stories of miracles, to the basic laws. If you have been raised in a religion it is had to put aside that pre-exposser. From outside all religion, its had to believe all the stories and claims of Gods work. Does the same story being past down for generation after generation make it the truth? or just a poplar story? Many fractions of Christianity, broke off in their new direction because someone decided that the word should be interpreted differently than it had been.

So, where do you begin to find the truths? And how many truths are there? I don't know. What I do know is that most religions are there to remind us we are not alone, we where put here for a purpose, there is a higher meaning, and we can find it if we look for it. What I would take from an atheists point of view, everything you need is inside of you.

Lord if you are reading this, please don't take offense, I mean no disrespect. I just believe that you might have wanted us to work harder than we are to make our connection with you. It seems odd to me that you would take such care to design the millions of living creatures and plants on this earth, but only provide one group of people with truth about having a connection and enternal life with you. You know the dark one is cunning, and had you giving all the truth to just one group, he would have found ways to eliminate them, distort the truth or destroy their credibility. To me it just would make sense that you would, spread the truths around. We are still discovering some of the creatures and plants of this world, pretty arrogant of us to think we have spiritual life all nailed down.


I was just wondering.
