Why does the bible talk about the people who get their jollies killing babies? Maybe they are fore warning people about you pro abortion nitwits...and the "jollies" you get defending infanticide.
Duh...
here- becasue you are kind of stupid, I'll put it bigger letters for you.
"Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. -- Psalm 137:9"
It's in the ******* BIBLE.
The writer is a Hebrew joyfully wanting to see Babylonian Babies (maybe they are Baby-Lonians?) get their heads smashed against the rocks because the Babylonians torn down their magic sky pixies' house (after said Magic Sky Pixie once again abandoned his "Chosen People" to another bunch of heathens who tortured them.)
This is the God you worship and want to use to tell me I shouldn't support a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body.
Actually, the was in reference to Babylon. Nice way to twist The Bible.
Now if you would read the entire chapter Joe, it does not say what you think it says.
Psa 137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
Psa 137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
Psa 137:3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
Psa 137:4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?
Psa 137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
Psa 137:6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
Psa 137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
Psa 137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
Psa 137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
Those who have displaced God's people, who have caused them and their children to suffer, shall be repaid in kind. This was referring to the Babylonian captivity of the Jews. The Jews were being punished by God for not upholding their end of the covenant. So when Assyria fell to the Babylonians, the Jews were exiled from Jerusalem for their disobedience. So after 70 years of exile, the Jews would return, and God would lay waste to Babylon for the actions of Nebuchadnezzar and his predecessors.
Jeremiah 5:11-17 (King James Version)
11For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.
12They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
13And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
14Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
16Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
17And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
So after the Jews were allowed to return after 70 years exile, God would have the Babylonians punished for their iniquities, as Jeremiah had prophesied.
"And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations" (Jer.25:12-13).
