small children in hell

not cool. really not cool.
so today in bible class we were talking about god sanctioning the killing entire nations. clearly thats not cool, and the arguements against it were things like; no one is truly innocent, god gave life and he can take it away, and the women and children probably ran away first. but when you think about it, these arguments are pretty weak, what if the people in question were ambushed and there was no time for running away? what if it was a siege? and what about the Egyptian incident of God killing all the firstborns in the entire nation, there's no running away from a freakin angel of death!!!
and just saying that no one is innocent and that god can kill whoever he wants just makes god seem like a colossal jerk.
so then there was the argument of children dying before the age of accountability just going to heaven. but apparently that's wrong too because the verse was taken out of context.
so not only is god killing kids, they're going to hell too.
and yeah, we can say that god is outside of time, so he knows what they would have done anyway. and at the end, when we're all being judged no one will be able to doubt the justice. but this here and now, and it sucks. its like god isn't even giving them a chance to make those mistakes or whatever.
