Why did God murder children for making fun of a bald guy?

You already have the truth within yourself. It has just been covered by a sheet of ice.

In other words: "I can form no image or concept of 'eternity'. Thererore, it must be nonsensical." Your folly is to think you can run a measuring tape around Reality, and pour Infinity into your skull. This is only a reflection of your own vanity. To say that eternity is nonsensical, is to say that the your own existence is without meaning.

Just because you are determined to disagree with the truth, does not mean it reflects your own meaninglessness.

Eternity is not vague, it is too clear for words; our words can only be symbolically oriented to the naked vision of Reality. It is not pseudo-intellectual, as it has no pretensions of intellectualism. It is simply the wisdom in the nature of things; the truth that flows through everything, and flows also through man, though he may shut his ears to it. No man can take credit for the truth.

This involves the implicit claim: "the welfare of thinking beings is Good." Where does Goodness reside? In God, of course. Where else would it be? Floating around in space?

God's moral pronouncements are the enunciations of the laws of equilibrium. If you deviate from equilibrium, there are corrective consequences. It is an essentially causal operation. If you let go of a ball in mid air, it will fall.
