On his radio program yesterday, Bryan Fischer reiterated his view that the “proliferation of languages” in America is a curse that God has placed upon this nation “to protect us from ourselves” because we have become fundamentally evil and a menace to the entire world.

“This kind of diversity is not a blessing,” Fischer said. “This kind of multiculturalism is not a blessing, it is a curse” that God has imposed upon us so that we cannot communicate easily with one another in order to thwart our evil plans, just as he did those seeking to construct the Tower of Babel in the book of Genesis.

By not insisting that those seeking to immigrate to the United States first be required to pass an English literacy test and be willing assimilate into our culture, Fischer said, America is bringing God’s curse upon ourselves.

“The confusion of languages is a check on the evil that otherwise a nation would do,” he claimed, “and I think that’s what’s happening here in America, that this is a part of God’s judgment on America because we have drifted from Him and now, increasingly, the plans and intentions of the heart of the American people, the American government, our cultural leaders are evil.”

“I think what’s going on here,” Fischer concluded, “God is saying, ‘This lack of assimilation that is caused by this profusion of languages, it’s actually something that I am using to check the evil that the United States otherwise would do.'”
