I have always been struck by the contrast between Babel (Genesis 11:1-9) and Pentecost (Acts 2:1-11). In the former, all people spoke one language but ended up in confusion, unable to understand one another. In the latter, diverse people who spoke in different ways all could make sense of what the others were saying.
Which is the current state of American politics most like? Problem: How can we make political speech more like Pentecost and less like Babel?
