You are clueless. I don't have time to explain the Bible to you. Here's the meaning for you written out in a step by step tutorial for idiots. You can buy the book I wrote, "Bible Verses for Dummies" at Amazon. I'll give you a dummy discount of 10%.
The meaning is pretty obvious when taken in context, see below.
Ps 137 is a lament for Jerusalem after the Babylonians have invaded and destroyed it. Verses 7-9 make it explicit:
7 Remember, LORD, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. “Tear it down,” they cried, “tear it down to its foundations!” 8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who repays you according to what you have done to us. 9 Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
This is sheer gloating on the part of the psalmist. Whoever overthrows Babylon is someone the author wants to buy a beer! (Put another way, that person is someone really popular with the author.) Whoever wrote this really hated the Babylonians, and would love to kill their children.
Is this "right?" Remember, this is a psalm - an ancient song of the Hebrews. I suspect many a future scholar will puzzle over, say, the misogynistic lyrics of Eminem or many like-minded rappers. Psalms express the feelings of the writer, NOT THEOLOGICAL RULES FOR YOUR BEHAVIOR..

This thread is decidedly annoying. I'd like to dash it against some rocks. Instead of worrying about hateful old Jews, we should be concentrating on something productive.

This is the entertainment section, where the psychology of the evil theologues is exposed, for all to mock and ridicule.

Are you a theologue in atheist clothing?

Such as? Our greedscum masters, supported by the evil theologues and their gullibility tests on the ignorant masses, have no interest in anything productive other than increasing their wealth, so why should we support that?

Did the troll just copy & paste a reply to Sinfidel & claim it as it's own work.
What a fucking liar that cunt is! The only way he could spell as well as that author is with his sister standing over him.
thank goodness he's on our side

No I did not claim it as mine. I don't have time to teach Sinfidel something about the Bible. Maybe he can find a cartoon book for Bible study.

God is beyond our understanding, says the Bible. So how is a moron like you going to teach about something you can't understand!

Of course I haven't written a book, you idiot. It just seems that the "Dummies" series would be a good choice for someone like you.
