is there any official explanation for why they're called Babylon Bee? the symbolism is rather questionable, although it could be worse, at least they don't call themselves Babylon Fly. I bet they're just fans of honey or something
Seth Dillon (CEO of Babylon Bee) actually mentioned it in one of his interviews. Don’t remember with whom exactly - maybe Ben Shapiro?
I can’t quote him word-for-word, but as I recall, he sees the present corrupt state of the world as “Babylon”, and he’s the “bee” making something sweet (and funny) out of it. “Out of the lion, something sweet”. In short, he’s aware of the symbolism.
