If the message of the Holy Spirit is always true, why does God deliberately delude people?

If you read the preceding and following verses you will discover that he is referring to people who already refuse to believe God. It says that he will cause these people to believe and follow the man of lawlessness. It's not that the Spirit is lying to them, but rather that God is withholding the Spirit from them so that they will naturally be deceived by the man of lawlessness.
Why did god design the laws of logic to make suspension of belief in him the default position? Seems like a dumb move.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

I want to know what Lek believes about little children who die in infancy; do they go to Heaven?

There are special rules for Amalekites, whether they be adults or children.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

The rules on Amalekites will never change. God used the word "FOREVER". They aren't even eligible for Salvation via belief in Christ and His resurrection. The Amalekites were THAT bad.

The Bible doesn't mention any children going to the golden cube. There are no marriages in the golden cube so there might not even be any women there. But women do get saved if they have had children.
In the Islamic version children can go to paradise under certain conditions but it's primarily a man's world. Most of the women go to hell. The guys get a herd of cute boys and a couple of 60 foot tall translucent women-type creatures with a few actual women throw in. They live in 60 mile wide pearl shells in a garden with rivers of wine and other fun things.
