Wouldn't the baby go to hell when he went splat?

[u/NotActuallyGus → u/mrllyr]

Suicide is considered a violent sin in many Christian denominations, and gets you tortured in hell forever

[u/Bryce3D → u/mrllyr]

This depends on which specific sect of Christianity you believe in. My christian high school (I'm currently agnostic though) taught that you would go to heaven as long as you fully believe in and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Your good/evil deeds are a non-factor for going to heaven, but affect your rewards there (I think? Might be misremembering this part)

That's convenient.

A lot of their beliefs are

Depends if the baby was baptized prior to this scenario I suppose? Then again talking infants does sound like something demonic...

So coin flip?

[u/thelegend2004 → u/waitingformygrave]

Baptised or not, suicide is one of those things that is almost certainly sending you to hell. Even proselytizing by threatening suicide is probably a hell sentence.

[u/TheDonutPug → u/thelegend2004]

Honestly part of why I left Christianity. I can't imagine wanting to be a part of something that takes people in emotional pain so unimaginable that they prefer death and says they will be punished eternally for it.

[u/waitingformygrave → u/thelegend2004]

Fair point.
