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.
I'm curious to know what you imagine these babies in heaven to be? Are they forever infants or fetuses? Is their "soul" somehow grown upon their arrival, or do they age in some sense while there?
Is any of this anything other than a sentimental fancy on the part of people who can't bear to think of babies and other children dying?
