"At one time, we are told that God divided up the people and confused their languages because of their willfulness against his commands. Each language group went its own way.....and the earth was filled."
Care to explain Nadsat then? Or Palare*, Esperanto, or Klingon?
Why didn't anyone speak these languages immediately** after the time of the supposed building of the Tower of Babel? Or why have structures infinitely taller been built since then, but nothing's happened?
One more thing: those on board the International Space Station. Surely the greatest distance above the Earth anyone is right now, eh? And what about messrs. Armstrong and Aldrin (as well as the later Apollo missions to the moon)? They went higher than any human being to date.
"all of our new technologies are breaking down the former language barriers! You can literally talk to anyone around the world on the internet in any language!"
So, the translation facility built into Google is reversing what your 'God' did originally, post-Tower of Babel.
Therefore, not only is Google God:

The very fact it can break down language barriers quickly and easily conclusively proves that Google is superior to God.
"Is this the final rebellion? Is the internet the new tower of Babel?"
Just as nothing's been done to all the structures that exist today that are clearly taller than the Tower of Babel (even the ISS) is proof that God isn't omnipotent (the mere sight of such gives him an inferiority complex, reduces his power and results in winkie shrinkage), but Google has superceded God. It is therefore superior to God. Why hasn't he done anything to stop that (or the internet as a whole), hmmmmm?
*- a.k.a. 'Polari', if you're familiar with 'Julian and Sandy' in BBC radio's "Round the Horne"
**- Just as the question should be asked, why couldn't God create his own money? Or print his own bibles?

"Oh no! But I thought yinz wanted everyone to speak "american"?!"
Those on Ruptured Retards (and their fundy, Repubican & teabagger ilk) already do speak their own language. It's called Dumbfuckistani.
