Read Psalm 137. Read it all the way through, including its final few lines:
O daughter of Babylon, you devastator!
Happy shall he be who requites you
with what you have done to us!
Happy shall he be who takes your little ones
and dashes them against the rock!"
Happy shall he be who requites you
with what you have done to us!
Happy shall he be who takes your little ones
and dashes them against the rock!"
Now ask yourself, “How can that be in the Bible?”
Then try to explain that to atheists.
A couple of weeks ago in the midst of March for Life coverage, I wrote an article attempting to do just this.
The piece is published on Strange Notions, a wonderful and popular website devoted to promoting dialogue between Catholics and atheists. The site bills itself as a “digital Areopagus,” echoing the famous dialogue of St. Paul with the Athenian philosophers in Acts 17. I recommend bookmarking it and perusing the resources blogger Brandon Vogt has made available which are geared toward helping us Catholics better defend the faith in the modern, digital world.
