Happy is the one who takes your babies and smashes them against the rocks! Psalms 137:9...and the bible is meant to be a standard for morality? [Spirituality & Religion]

[b]Just one more of the examples of brutal degeneracy lauded in the bible. With stuff like this, how can we take the bible as a guide for morality?[/b]

If "happy is the one" who smashes the babies of their enemies on rocks..what kind of morality is the bible offering us here?

It also says in the above Scripture, "O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed, happy is the one who repays you as you have served us! Psalm 137:8

Have you ever read how Babylon treated Israel when Israel was its captive and put into slavery?

Are suggesting that because the Israelites were mistreated they should be happy to smash babies on rocks?

You have no understanding do you? If you're so worried babies being murdered, then why do you condone the abortion clinics who murder babies by the thousands each day?

So then what were you suggesting by pointing out that the Babylonians had mistreated the Israelites?

You didn't answer my question. Just read what the Babylonians did to the Israelites. You'll find my answer there.

@GodSpeed63

You didn't answer mine first.
I'll answer your question when you answer mine, not direct me to read something else and guess what your answer might have been.

A simple transactional relationship is all im asking for and all i'm offering.
Take it or leave it.🤷‍♀️

If you can't do the research, then don't come crying to me.

So, now go and do your research, Pikachu, and this time, no excuses.

Pikachu

@GodSpeed63

You claim to give straight answers to straight questions. "Go read and guess what my answer is" is not a straight answer.
It's an excuse and it makes you a liar and this conversation is over until you show a little honesty.

Your move.
