Is it true that if we build a tree fort to god that he will break the fort, probably kill us with the wood, and if not, make us all speak different languages. Is this true?

Nah, but you'll start an arms race with other countries who will want their own fort to god, and before anyone else.

Taren-
Ever heard of the Tower of Babel? Look that up and see why you shouldn't. I mean, why spend days building a tree fort to God (which, when you think about it theologically is stupid) when you can just know He's always there and can be reached by prayer.

The First Commandment (at least the version in Exodus 20) implicitly acknowledges that the ancient proto-Hebrew people believed in and worshipped "other gods" - tribal gods, clan gods, nature gods, household gods, etc. The First Commandment says, "Thou shalt have no other gods BEFORE ME," meaning, YHWH is the number one god, and the belief in other gods, if it's allowed at all, must be subordinate to the worship of and obedience to YHWH. So the god of the Hebrew Bible did NOT tell the Hebrews that they could worship other gods. On the contrary, Deuteronomy specifies that people who try to entice others to worship other gods instead of YHWH are to be put to death. Deut. 13:12-16 and 13:7-11.

You are obviously referring to the story of Babylon. Times have changed since the Old Testament days. Just do it for God's glory... not your own.

Don't be so ignorant. Build the damn fort and stop worrying about God will do. Don't waste your life worrying about what some mythical being might think or do.
