Sounds like Christians should be positively lining up to abort their fetuses now, since it sends them directly to Heaven. I wonder when the onset of original sin is? Standing up? Talking?
Oh, I may have misunderstood this bit. Glad to see that they get to pretend their unbaptized babies are in heaven rather than hell, though. Well, sort of glad. It probably would have helped underscore how bloody awful their god is if the babies were simply sent directly to hell. But I guess this is more consistent with an abusive-relationship-god of the sort they're carrying on with. Does a few nice things so his victims can fixate on those and keep ignoring what a bastard he is.
