If the barbarian nomads who imagined god could compose psalms 137:9 to celebrate the dashing out of innocent babys' brains against rocks (Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones), how could god to be asked to prevent babies from being born without heads?
Can you try that again? Im not sure what it is you're saying. Cheers.
