Letting them live is giving them the opportunity for damnation. Sending them straight to heaven would be doing them a favor. If, that is, it were true that children who died went to heaven.
But what we have here is someone pretending to believe something, when they do not really believe it. In this, as in most other cases, actions speak louder than words. Parents who risk their children's immortal souls do not really love their children, when it would be so easy for them to be sent to heaven instead.
First, you're extremely sick if you think it would be "so easy" to kill anyone, let alone your own children.
Second, if my ancestors had done that, I wouldn't be here. Is it grossly irresponsible to deny potentially hundreds or thousands of generations of people life in order to secure heaven for one? Do you know waht the first command in the bible is? It's to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth.
