This is weird now. I mean, what's the relationship between a person's soul and that person? If the soul is interchangable between people (one of whom would have grown up Christian and one of whom would have grown up athiest), then in which body a soul ends up is a complete lottery. Also, if a soul goes to hell, but that soul was previously in a different person, well then all I can say is... "I'm sorry, soul" because surely that soul isn't me as it is completely interchangeable between people. So if it's the soul that goes to hell, and the soul is seperate from me, then I just die and get buried.
But we're getting off topic here. The important thing to realize is, that even with reincarnation, you should still be killing babies.
An atheist's child has a much smaller chance of believing in Jesus than the child of Christian parents (if you accept this, you need to really think hard about where all of your beliefs really come from. We're so easily influenced to believe things, and anyone who knows this can try to manipulate our beliefs for their own personal gain).
So if dead babies go to heaven, you should kill babies, but if dead babies get reincarnated, you should still kill babies, but not necessarily the same babies.
I've read more of this thread and was shocked to not find a single argument against the premise. Well not shocked really, because it sounds solid. But why not just agree with it instead of changing the subject, which is what most of the comments hostile to the OP are doing.
Also, killing babies isn't the right answer. There's a much simpler way. After all, a fetus has a soul, right? It seems to reason that instead of doing missionary work or trying to convert friends and loved ones, Christians should focus on promoting unprotected sex and abortions.
Heaven for everyone! Hooray.
