Hey, I watched this great video today of Ched Myers talking about multiculturalism. It is a very interesting and provocative discussion. He uses two stories from the Bible (the Tower of Babel and Pentecost) as evidence for God's dislike for centralized power and monoculture. He makes a pretty strong case against empire and using the Bible and/or Christianity to institute and advance empire and domination-of any sort. The stories in the Bible are the stories of oppressed minorities, Israelites and Christians, not the elite. As Myers says, good news for some, bad for other. It is definitely worth a listen.
