If God sent your child to Hell.

[Polaris]

This used to be a hot button issue for me about 7 and a half years ago, but I moved past it.

As a theist, I would urge God to not only have mercy on my loved ones but all humanity even including the likes of Hitler....this is referenced in one of the apocryphal Biblical books.

But god of the bible is not forgiving or even less merciful unless you ask for mercy and even still.... he woudn't show it. 

Exodus 32

“I have seen these people,” the Lord said to Moses, “and they are a stiff-necked people. Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation.” But Moses sought the favor of the Lord his God. “Lord,” he said, “why should your anger burn against your people, whom you brought out of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand? Why should the Egyptians say, ‘It was with evil intent that he brought them out, to kill them in the mountains and to wipe them off the face of the earth’? Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster on your people. Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self: ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever.’” Then the Lord relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.
