It's funny how God punishes people for not believing in him. So those new born baby's that die prematurely must be burning in hell- oh no. OH NO!

In the realm of Xtianity, don’t forget everybody who was born before Jesus had his Great Sleep-in which is what established the path to “salvation.”
Somehow, Noah and the Gilgamesh Incest Bunch were absolved or forgiven (you know, for things they didn’t do that nobody else did either), but everybody else had to die. “God” had the ability to start over from scratch but didn’t, and had the ability to just get over it, as he did for those few, but wouldn’t.
And they had to invent special exemptions and assumptions when they realized their beliefs were barbaric, since infant deaths didn’t qualify for what the myths said.
None of the various gods hold a majority share, meaning that every god has more people disbelieving it than believing it. Making these gods all failures.
Babies that are not baptized before death dont go to hell they go to limbo.
Eternity in an unremarkable blah-place. Sounds like “heaven”/Celestial North Korea to me.
“Limbo” is a human invention and there is zero support for it in scripture, just a Catholic opinion/rationalization handed down from generation to generation to make the bible look less terrible in regards to infant “souls.”
Even if we take it at face value, “limbo” is declaring that the rules “god” himself set up for how things work don’t properly accommodate infant deaths, which makes him a failure. Both by making the death happen (per his Plan™/testing you/mysterious ways) - or merely not stopping it - in the first place, and by requiring mechanisms to absolve original sin that necessitate people surviving past infancy.
You’re pretty much conceding the point here: “god” is an incompetent, infant-wasting buffoon, who never thought this through properly. Even though he was already expecting to kill millions of unborn and infants in his tyrannical rampage across a small patch of the Middle East. Or, he did think it through and fully intended infants to go to hell, then realized he made a mistake/responded to displeasure from his human masters, so whizzed up a quick neutral place. That the Pope demolished.
Unless, of course, these limitations were just him obeying SuperGod’s rules.
