Christian "purpose" and "meaning" in life.

[The Valkyrie]

When Bad Writer mentioned the millions of young children who die every year, you stated that they were in heaven with god now. Therefore, to die at a very early age is to be guaranteed heaven, whereas to live a long life is to risk falling out of favor with god and being sent to hell. If heaven is the greatest possible reward, then hell is the greatest possible punishment. Dying as a baby guarantees that you get the greatest possible reward without risking the greatest possible punishment.

Thus, a baby who is taken as part of god's plan is much more highly favored than the person who is allowed to live a long life; he gets the greatest possible reward with no effort on his part, the person who lives a long life must make every effort to earn that reward. So tell me, why would you "cherish" this life, when it's just full of suffering and effort to get something that a baby was given with no effort on his part? Looks like you got the raw deal.

Of all the latest comments to me I find this one the only one worth answering, the rest show the hate and ignorance of Christianity.

Babies and children like most everyone else do no chose their time to die, it's part of life, only through the grace of God do they enter heaven, that grace comes through what is fair to the children. I say again would you want these children to be in hell because they were not fortunate enough to live a longer life. No one need go to hell, everyone has a choice. I see life as a great thing worth living, I made the right choice to accept Christ into my life I have no worries other than those of everyday life and thankfully I have and want Christ to help me through them each day. So no I did not get a raw deal I got eternal life beyond understanding.

So, the only thing you can really respond with is more empty words and claims?
