And when I do I remember that death is not the end. when God by His Providence removes people from earth, it does not have the finality assumed by the disbeliver. Because existence continues, the fate of the departed depends not only on the state of their heart, but on their culpability. Children have no culpability.
Whether or not there's a disneyland afterlife for the children God murders is entirely irrelevant. What is relevant is that he murders children, and orders them murdered. And, often, it is not simply the sanitary kind of death. He orders infants dashed against rocks, fetuses torn from the womb, children to be killed by the sword and the spear by soldiers, all of the above drowned in floods and roasted alive in great fires. God makes sure that these children spend their last few moments in life in terror, misery and agony of the highest order.
You should ponder why you worship a God who is so thoroughly wicked and takes such delight in cruelty, not what evils might be in the hearts of infants and fetuses. Drich chooses to embrace evil and call it good, to hold up arbitrary cruelty and call it justice, to take jealousy and spite and call that ultimate righteousness. He'll say that genocide is not a bad thing if it is what God wants. Is that what you will also do?
