I ask this because I'm considering the actions of women like Lori Vallow who kill their children before they reach the age of reason so that they can be guaranteed an eternity in paradise. If all children go to heaven, then what's the flaw in the logic? Shouldn't all mothers have as many children as possible and just murder them as infants so she can send as many souls as possible to heaven?
Sure, I agree. The woman will be darned for murder, but she has guaranteed the salvation of many souls.
No amount of parenting can guarantee a child will turn out a certain way. I was raised Christian and attended a Christian school and here I am, an atheistic adult with no regard for any gods. It seems the only way to guarantee your children will go to heaven is to kill them.

This all depends on the sect of Christianity. Baptists say the kids go to heaven, but Catholics are wishy washy about everything despite pretending not to be.
Quakers believe that you are baptized by the Holt Spirit and that the sacrament of splashing water on a child is unnecessary.
