It's kind of breath-taking when someone realizes they can do that, huh?

Exactly, babies are not born accepting Christ. Babies are born Atheists.

Your mother would technically be wrong. The child must be baptized, because it is the passing on of the sins of humanity as well as other sins. That child would not go to heaven.

So you're contradicting yourself. Why would Jesus bother telling you to spread the gospel if people who aren't aware of Christianity get into heaven? It makes no sense.

Incorrect. A person who has never heard of Christianity would not believe in the Christian God, nor would a baby. Explain why one goes to heaven and the other doesn't?

That's not an apt comparison. A better one would be having a program with a number of threads, which are automatic processes, that allows the program to multi-task.

But a baby is not a sapient being yet, and hence is not capable of "accepting Christ", and since your god knows this, he created that being knowing that it would be tormented for eternity.

If by "tormented for eternity" you mean hell I have news for thee: There is no "Hell" in the bible. In the bible, the punishment for sin is death. Following God saves you from death and provides you with eternal life in heaven. By death, I mean the death of your soul, not your body. Your body can't won't live forever.
And don't try and tell me otherwise with a false translation which uses the word "hell".

I know. Hell is an amalgamation of a variety of modern concepts as I stated a few pages back. I'm referring to the fundies hell.

What do you think of the Fundiementalist Evangelical movement?
I think it ha had a huge negitive effect on Christianity and it's realtionship with outsiders and each other.
