You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down, and you see a Christian baby, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the Christian baby over on its back. The Christian baby lies on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

These believers even have an entire book where their invisible sky demon tortures one of its followers for no reason at all.

Thumb One (thumbone@aus.social)'s status on Wednesday, 15-Nov-2023 19:33:09 JST Thumb One @stavvers What does a Christian baby look like I wonder? Tasty? I'd need to know how to spot one from all the other babies first.
Oh, yeah hang on, there's no such thing. You mean unicorns right? Because no baby ever born was born with religion. I'm afraid birth is a a-theist experience, and has nothing to do with religion. It can become a Chrsitian child, as being a baby then small child it will do what it takes to mimic it's family environment. It will learn its family language(s) and culture and oh, yes, religion.
But prior to that, of course it has no religion. And so, the question is hypthetical at some almost childish level.
