First, knowing what or who a baby will grow up to be does not change their present innocence.
Second, and far more importantly, if I was god I certainly would not kill a baby hitler. I would create a baby hitler who wasn't interested in killing off all the Jews.
Hmmm....I'm not sure. I mean, let's say I'm reading a book about a king who kills people in his country. He makes it perfectly legal for himself to kill those people by tweaking laws to allow himself to do whatever he wants. It wouldn't be murder, for the king in the book, but it's just a book and I am in no way bound by the fictional king's laws so I would still call it murder.
So it's the same with the Christian god. According to Christianity he is the almighty ruler, his word is law. So he can kill anyone he wants to and, for him, it will be legal and justified simply because he is god. But he is a fictional character and I as a reader am in no way bound by his laws, so I would still call it murder.

So you agree your usage of the word murder was not valid?
