He told me humans built a tower so big when it came crashing down humans were separated and started speaking different lanugages. He then told me if I didnt belive him I was going to hell. I went to the bathroom and pee'd in a cup and threw it in his face. He freaked out like it was acid or something. Funny?

Funny.... well... not really... kind of gross...
:)
I believe the same. In the Bible, at one time, all humans spoke a single language. Then one day, they all got together and tried to build a tower that would reach Heaven, and ultimately, God. It was called the Tower of Babel (and the remains of it are supposedly still in Iraq).
As I hear it, God was so furious at their arrogance, that He destroyed the tower and made it so that none of those people could understand each other, hence they could never get together again and plan/build another tower. Then these people went their seperate ways (migrated to different places), and so they say this is why humans speak different languages...
Best Wishes...

The story is found in Genesis 11:1-9 as follows:
1 Now the entire earth was of one language and uniform words. 2 And it came to pass when they traveled from the east, that they found a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3 And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and fire them thoroughly"; so the bricks were to them for stones, and the clay was to them for mortar. 4 And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered upon the face of the entire earth". 5 And the Lord descended to see the city and the tower that the sons of man had built. 6 And The LORD said, "Lo! [they are] one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they have commenced to do. Now, will it not be withheld from them, all that they have planned to do? 7 Come, let us descend and confuse their language, so that one will not understand the language of his companion". 8 And the Lord scattered them from there upon the face of the entire earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore, He named it Babel, for there the Lord confused the language of the entire earth, and from there the Lord scattered them upon the face of the entire earth.

Wisdom is folly where ignorance is bliss.You may later find out that if your outbursts like what you did with that guy overflows into other areas of your life you could find yourself very misinformed and isolated,The tower of babel was built and was scientifically believed to be found somewhere in the middle east(look up discovery channel history archive on religion) the world was meant to be inhabited and people were not to live in a tower speaking one language,so contrary to the commerce of man ,people were dispersed throughout the world speaking different languages,what is funny is that some people still do not believe even that there is a God,that defies even the logic of our reasoning since God has given us the free will to serve him,find out what is the meaning of life ?you owe someone an apology,when you do it you can only grow as a human,god bless

There is a story from the Bible which most Christians believe to be true, although it has never been scientifically proven. Humans attempted to build a tower to Heaven, it was called the tower of Babel. However God was offended and destroyed it, and caused the tribes of people who built it to speak different languages as punishment.
You certainly acted with poor class if you treated the man that way. For shame.

If the truth be known. It probably had something to do with people with different countries with different languages trying to build a type of Pyramid.
Nobody could understand anyone else & the plans got all mixed up and the dam thing collapsed. So they all gave up and went back to their own countries.
They blamed God for the failure.
The remains of the building are still there in Iraq.

No, it wasn't funny... It was ******* hilarious!
Although we might pay for it later when Jesus, David Koresh or Jim Caviezel comes riding down from heaven on his magic unicorn to punish us.
He'll sit us down, offer us koolaid and tell the story in tongues.
People like this deserve not only a cup of urine thrown in their face but a handful of feces upside the head.
They seem to enjoy wallowing in their own **** anyway.
How do they reconcile this nonsense to their beliefs? God was angry about a tower but hunkey dorey with a ******* space shuttle....
I'll believe that when my **** turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert.

Yes, humans speak different languages because man tried to build a tower to heaven (the tower of babel) and God scattered them.
The pee thing is sick.
