Christians: Why are you against abortion, exactly?
I know, you're against it because life begins at conception and aborting a baby is murder. But hear me out. The baby goes straight to heaven, right? A person who never makes it out of the birth canal never has a chance to sin--so they can never go to hell. Every baby you abort is a person you've saved from an eternity of torment.
What greater love could there be than to save your unborn child from the fires of hell, even if it means that you yourself will burn there for committing the sin of murder? You risk an eternity of terrible, unimaginable torment so your child will be safe in a perfect paradise. And surely, since you were acting so selflessly, Jesus will forgive your sins, if you call upon his name to be saved.
Now, you may say that if everyone did this, the human race would go extinct, and I agree. Abortion should certainly not be enforced. But if a brave mother wants to make that sacrifice for her child...what kind of Christians are we to tell her she can't?
I should clarify that these are not my personal opinions on abortion. I simply looked at the doctrines of Christianity and took them to their logical conclusion. The best life on Earth is nothing compared to life in heaven, and life on Earth also comes with a chance of going to hell. Under this framework, doesn't it make sense that, if someone said "Hey, I'll let you go straight to heaven, no chance of hell at all, if you simply skip your life on Earth", that you would take them up on their offer? From the baby's perspective I can't see how they're missing out on anything worthwhile.
Too often it seems that Christians operate under humanistic philosophies most of the time, while simultaneously believing in afterlives that, if real, make those philosophies basically nonsensical. The question was not about abortion at all; it was simply a consciousness-raising exercise.
