Children died before they sinned so they are perfect no?

In the physical sense, yes. The way you phrased it just sounded grim
In the religious sense, Christian sense, everyone is born with "original sin."

Oh, that's a can of worms better left unopened.

So if we are born guilty who do we blame? Certainly not us anymore.

It's a lie. So, who cares?

Why? How does believing we were all born into sin debt from two people who never existed, edifying his life?

He needs to find the answer as to why he believes. My guess is fear of hell, another imaginary place.

So much real stuff in the world to care about. This is just so not worth anyone's time.

He doesn't believe in afterlife as far as I know.
But he thinks we need belief in god in order to live good lives

frodo, I say all that in kindness. You can believe as you wish but to me, it just isn't edifying anyone's life to be consumed with guilt over something you didn't do.

See frodo? Living without guilt is ok. Open your heart and fill it with love
