Topic: How come God never had a problem with the ISS?

He gets mad when people tried to construct a tower to Heaven (Tower of Babel), but he doesn't have a problem with the International Space Station?
Thanks to a certain somebody for pointing this out to me.

1) He is fictional
2) At the time he was being written by people who could not conceive of a space station

Well, that.
There were more than a few people in the 60s' who felt that God would destroy the Apollo missions (it didn't help being named after a pagan god) when they tried to reach the moon. That didn't happen. I think the ancient Hebrew God only gets angry in Bronze/Iron age fables. I think that might just be superstitious storytelling.

That's probably a better question. I guess the standard answer would be a lack of faith? Whenever the Jews got invaded by Neo-Assyria or Neo-Babylonia they generally just assumed the invaders were punishment by Yahweh for decadent kings or lack of reverence to Yahweh or worship of idols. If Christianity wants to borrow that view, I guess they could claim that lessening faith in a Christian God has caused the forces of ISIS to become a power. (I have actually heard Christians claim this)
Of course that would mean disregarding the US sowing the seeds of militant Islam while the USSR held Afghanistan during the cold war and fostering war between foreign nations in the middle east and selling arms to many of them and deposing a dictatorship in Iraq that it once propped up and occupying the country and then leaving a giant power vacuum in it's wake in the middle of a sea of religious and political unrest that was arguably caused by foreign intervention... I don't know, maybe there are realistic causes other than an angry god.

Isn't in the Moon itself in violation or must it be man-made.

I would have thought that god would like the moon because he would have made it himself. No, he just doesn't like it when the commoners get too uppity.

What about mining. I've heard some go down for quite some distance and then there's drilling which goes even further.
Why does one direction have precedent over another.

The heavens are up in the sky, that's why god was getting mad about it. There's fuck all underground (unless ancient Christians thought that hell was underground)?
