In my last post, I tried to point out how abortion is the best thing that can happen to someone in the Protestant worldview. It also occurred to me that if god had moved up the Apocalypse, billions of people wouldn’t have been created only to end up thrown into Hell.

I wanted to pick up a little more on the weird notion of the ‘age of accountability‘ that I mentioned. This doctrine basically says the following: even though all mankind is guilty of sin because of Adam, god won’t hold Adam’s sin against those who are unable to save themselves (i.e. by believing in Jesus Christ). Ostensibly, this extends to children, and those who have never heard the gospel.

If this doctrine is true, one wonders why god would create these people anyways? He embued them with a soul at birth, only to let them live a random life completely absent from Jesus’s teachings. Then, when they die, that soul gets a free pass and gets into Heaven. This idea basically makes the whole believe in Jesus thing moot.

If anyone can get to Heaven so long as they don’t have the ability to choose Christ, why does the Bible say that Jesus is the only way into Heaven? Clearly, this presents a second option: be born in a place without access to missionaries, or die before you get old enough to make a proper choice on your salvation. Believing in Jesus is not the only way into Heaven.

So we’re back to an absurdity: if the devil is allowed to tempt you your entire life, and if you are more likely to go to Hell than to Heaven by default (because of Original Sin), it follows that the longer you’re alive the more opportunity you have to go to Hell. That sets up the following as true, in order of best to worse:

1. It is best to be aborted in the womb, because you as a human will never know the pain of life. You will never know pain, hunger, starvation, sickness, heartbreak, or warfare. Because you died before the age of accountability, you will go to Heaven.

2. It is second-best to die as a child (or as someone who is mentally retarded). Even though you might experience hardships like poverty, disease, hunger, or abuse, the fact that you are dying as a child guarantees you access to Heaven.

3. It is third-best to be born in a place that has not been introduced to the Bible. Even though you will almost certainly face physical hardships in your lifetime, the fact that you have never heard the word of Christ has saved you from Hell.

4. The worst scenario is to be born into a Christian nation and to survive into adulthood. You will have almost certainly suffered physical hardship, and now having survived into the age of accountability gives you a higher than likely chance of going to Hell.

It’s as if access to the gospel is a curse: so long as you’ve never heard it or are too young to understand it, you’re golden. But, as soon as you’ve heard it, you’re as good as doomed. So, in a nutshell, hearing the gospel is a detriment to your health.

If you’re a Christian and you love your family and friends, don’t tell them about Jesus, and abort your children if you have any. It’s the best thing you can do to help get them into Heaven.

Before I go, let’s look at the opposite of this real quick, since the Bible never technically says anything about this accountability thing. What it does say is that all of mankind is cut off from god because of original sin, which means that the only way for anyone to get to Heaven is through Christ. If that’s the case, the aborted, children of any age, and even those who have never heard of Jesus will go to Hell.

The other day, a friend of mine told me that children are a gift from god. Without the age of accountability, if this “gift” dies as a child, it would seem that god is perfectly content to throw it into a lake of never-ending fire and torment. Which basically brings us back to god being a colossal dick. After all, who would create a soul only to cast it into Hell when it dies a month after birth?

Or, consider someone who is born with mental retardation. According to Psalms, god actually made them with mental retardation, thus preventing them from being able to choose Christ, and thus creating them with full knowledge that they would go to Hell upon death.

If god is cool though and doesn’t toss newborns and children into Hell, it means he’s a dick to everyone else who was unlucky enough to hear the gospel later in life, because he gives other adults a pass for not having heard it. Again, I’ll ask: why do people believe in this?
