God, the author of the biggest holocaust

RE: God, the author of the biggest holocaust

A person who lives to 100 has the same amount of life as the child who is slaughtered at the age of two: infinite years. Their lives would look like this:

Man dying at 100: 100 + infinity = infinity
Child murdered at two: 2 + infinity = infinity

Now, since God is more than capable of making sure that the child who dies at two has an infinite amount of joy and happiness of an infinite number of years, that child has not been cheated out of anything by not living to be 100. If anything, that child may have been spared 98 years of suffering and pain.

Consequently, God is equally fair and generous to all of His beloved children regardless of their circumstances in this life.

Akin provides a lot more than this, of course.

Hope this helps.

So, murder is wrong because?   Seriously, if our life span on earth does not matter because we will live infinitely afterwards than why would murder be wrong?

It's a puzzle.  If we really will live in heaven forever, then we should all want to give up this mortal coil as soon as possible, or at least we shouldn't be bothered to prolong our time here.  Yet Christians in foxholes pray to live just a little longer.  And god prohibits sending them on a little sooner. Why?

You see we care about the two year old because we empathize with the two year old who doesn't want to die.  If you don't, there's something wrong with you. 

The humans who wrote the Bible knew murder was wrong.  They put "thou shalt not kill" is god's mouth.  But apparently it's okay if god does the killing or even just orders it.  Sorry.  That's wrong.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
