Leviticus 20:9

9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

Leviticus is filled with various terrible rules, and this one qualifies. According to Leviticus 20, if you curse your parents, you are to be put to death. I would imagine that there are some circumstances where cursing your parents may be entirely appropriate. The King James Bible refuses to recognize that such exceptions may exist and requires not only absolute obedience but also death for the disobedient. I wonder how anyone made it past their teen years in such a society.

Good, moral parents would have no need for such a law, nor would they enforce it. However, the King James Bible suggests that this disgustingly violent and intolerant law is a good and necessary thing. Could you bring yourself to kill your children if they curse you? God demands that you kill him or her if he or she does. Do you disobey God or your conscience? Who do you love more, God or your child? If he or she curses you, this might be a decision that you will have to make.

Psalm 137:9

9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

Psalm 137 is one of the most well-known in all of the Psalms. It describes the feelings of the Israelites following the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem, the last part of which is almost a curse against the Babylonians, suggesting that those who dash their children against rocks will be blessed with happiness.

This verse expresses violent feelings towards innocent children. These children were not the ones who stole away their city, yet they have no qualms with taking out their vengeance upon them. This does not sound like something that would be written in a tome referred to as the Good Book.
