For instance, I love Psalm 137, which expresses the Israelites' sadness about being exiled in a strange land and their longing for Jerusalem. However, I'm none too happy with Verse 9: "Happy shall they be who take your (the Babylonians') little ones and dash them against the rock!" Whoa!<BR/><BR/>My guess is that all religions struggle with the question of what the "true believers" should do about the doubters, questioners, and nay-sayers.Forsythiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842925744413303224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329173918144651735.post-42637525205342513012008-04-03T11:55:00.000-04:002008-04-03T11:55:00.000-04:00Forsythia, I agree.

Not my doctor, not the owner of the shish-kabob shop, not my brother-in-law. One of my sisters is married to a Palestinian. He can no longer visit his family, who live in Israeli-occupied territory, on a farm they have owned for generations. This is his life today: he works as a counsellor in a sheltered workshop and kayaks on Lake Erie on weekends. Another joy in his life is his little grand-daughter. He loves Christmas. Some of the 9/11 terrorists were here in Laurel. They worked out at Gold's Gym and they stayed at the Valencia Motel and wired money from the very supermarket where we shop.Forsythiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842925744413303224noreply@blogger.com
