Confounded Language

We should all know by now that the LORD also came down to see the Philippines and gifted us Filipinos with a mixture of languages. It was, in this way, that we may enjoy not only divine confusion, not only the devil's temptation, but also to enjoy as something sacred or holy each other's religious delusion.

'And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. Gen. 11:5-7. Poch Suzara
