If babies get a free pass to Heaven, seems like the best thing to do for them. There sure are a lot of temptations in the modern world for a lot of people to get themselves sent to hell.
More and more people are leaving religion, after all.
Not at all. The babies go to heaven, yes, but life is still an inherent human right and to take that away is awful. The parents then become guilty of that.
Seems to me, assuring a baby gets to heaven for eternity is much more important than 80 years of life.
Especially considering all the possible chances of them doing something that will get them sent to hell.
If you could assure them of 100% chance of going to heaven, as opposed to having some chance of them going to hell, wouldn't you?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
