More warped theology/sociology from Bryan J. Fischer: a bilingual nation is no longer “one nation under God.”

Because God only speaks English, apparently.

BJF also screws up the story of the Tower of Babel. In the story, humans all spoke the same language, and banded together to build the tower so they could pay God a visit, as it were. God, being somewhat of a hermit, destroyed the tower and cursed humanity with different languages, to prevent them from trying that shit again.

BJF is saying a monolingual America could get things done better, so he’s essentially saying we need to return to the God-defying pre-Tower of Babel days.

Atop that, he’s ignoring that the motto of our nation until 1956 was “E pluribus unum.” So we get yet another case of historical revisionism by a evangelical in order to justify a belief that America uniquely blessed by the Christian God.
