The sickest part is it's all an extrapolation of the bible!
All it means is that the barbaric goat shaggers who wrote the bible had very low morals in their day...
We have all evolved since then, except well, the bible? It's stuck on ver 1.0
The Bible never says parents should kill their children so they can go to heaven, only sick illogical people like rodvalue can claim such a ridiculous view.

Yes, the Bible never tells parents to kill their children (except if they are disobedient [Deuteronomy 21:18-21], or if they strike either parent [Exodus 21:15], or if they curse either parent [Exodus 21:17], etc.). However, IF it were true that children who died automatically went to heaven, and IF growing up they might go to heaven or they might go to hell, THEN killing them as children would be doing them a favor, because a chance to go to hell is a bad thing. You agree that going to hell is bad, right? Do you want your children to go to hell? If not, and if children who were killed would automatically go to heaven, then killing them would make the most sense.
Of course, god might punish you for it, but a good parent will risk his or her own life to save the life of his or her child. But in this case, we are discussing something more important than life; we are discussing immortal souls and what happens to them for eternity.
Now, of course, bad parents won't sacrifice themselves for their children, and so we can expect that bad parents will selfishly try to save themselves rather than do what is best for their children. So bad parents in such a scenario would likely not kill their children and give them the opportunity to go to hell.
