Bad to believe that children who die young are lucky?

[Sjoerd]

I read this on the Comment and Suggestions forum:

A forum member recently said:

"Truly lucky are young children that die soon after Baptism. For them this earthly life would be very short and salvation is assured."

This is one of the most obscene comments I've ever had the displeasure of reading, and more disturbing than any amount of swearing.

Are moderators allowed to "moderate" fanatical ideologies?

I know it's subjective, but if the entire team agreed that a certain comment is a simple display of fanaticism, I think they should be able to do something about it.

Many people may think of this comment as "profane".

Why would this be considered obscene? Not that I believe it, but if I was a parent and my child died, I would find this one of the most comforting things to believe.

Yes, there is a huge difference, but the only idea was to get the point across

Well, not to seem morbid, but I can see how this would be a comforting thought because this child will never have to face the stress and suffering that grips life. Yes, it's sad that the child will never be able to experience life, but this child will also never have to worry about Earthly issues. In a way, the child could be 'lucky.'

As for me, I just view death as a part of life and a way to freedom when your time on Earth is done. It's sad, but it's also joyous. I don't mean to sound depressing...but that's kind of how it is...

NOTE: I probably just restated what people already said on this thread...oh well, what can you expect late at night?
