Atrocities and Absurdities in the Bible

And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it unto thine hands, thou shalt
smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: but the women, and the

condemned... Let his days be few; and let another take his office.  Let his
children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.  Let his children be
continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their
desolate places.  Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the
strangers spoil his labor.  Let there be none to extend mercy unto him:
neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.  Let his
posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be
blotted out. - Psalm 109:4-13
