Below is the take from one of the apologetics.
http://carm.org/bible-difficulties/job-s...g-children

In a nutshell:
1) Just because the bible says so does not mean God approves it. (I thought the bible was the word of God )
2) You cannot judge God on his morality. Even if he commits atrocities, humans have no right to judge him on that.

What else would you expect from scumbag bible thumpers?

Besides, you have to read the whole passage....

Quote: 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.

So because the Edomites were allegedly glad that Jerusalem fell - understandable as they were commercial rivals - it is the Babylonians who are going to have their infants dashed against the rocks. Except, that didn't happen either and the Persians took Babylon with little violence.

Meanwhile, the god who isn't there sat by cheering.

You really have to be fucked up to claim this stuff is righteous. You have to be more fucked up to claim it is real.

So God is supposed to give us free will and stop us from disobeying? What you expect to be righteous is a contradiction.
