First of all, you eliminate the risk that they might end up in hell by failing to follow the rules correctly.
Second, they go straight to heaven without any of the pain or heartache this life brings. They begin infinite happiness right away.
And third, it's insurance against them picking the wrong religion.
Even if we pretend there is definitely a god, and it's definitely either Yahweh or Allah, that means every Christian and Muslim is taking a risk. If they don't kill their baby, it might not go to heaven by picking wrong. You may be in the wrong religion and it may copy you, or you may be in the right religion and it may stray to another.
By killing it, the God can't say it picked wrong, so must send it to heaven! Even if you've picked wrong, in which case you're going to hell regardless, you save your child the same fate.
The ultimate act of love! So how can you object, and why don't you do it? Is it because you're hedging your bets in case the whole thing is actually made up?
This has to be the sickest thing I've seen here, you need help and I advise you to run not walk to get it and may God have mercy on you. There are so many things wrong with this one has trouble trying to find a starting point, anyone who would not just suggest murder but to advocate it is sick beyond belief.

What robvalue is suggesting follows logically from what many Christians claim. Many claim (contrary to the Bible) that children go to heaven if they are killed. If that were true, then killing them would be doing them a favor. It is the Christians who have the sick, twisted beliefs that entail what robvalue is suggesting. And robvalue is wanting them to think about their sick beliefs; he is not wanting people to murder their children.
Of course, the Bible clearly states that one must have faith in Jesus, and infants do not because they are incapable of thinking such things. But that is irrelevant to the idiot Christians who claim that they go to heaven. If children did go to heaven, then killing them would be doing them a favor.
