I've asked a number of religious guys what happens if you kill infants, would they go to heaven? If so, why don't we since that will result in eternal happiness without all the life suffering and risk going to hell.

One person (Catholic) told me, the babies would go to heaven if they were baptized and then killed. The other person (Christian) told me they can't determine this because they're not God.

So why are they so much against abortions?
They may believe the doctor and mother will go to hell, but they surely don't care about those two.

As far as I am aware infants would go to heaven (regardless of being baptized) but the person doing the killing would sin.

Relieving someone from temporary suffering just to suffer eternally isn't a good trade off.

Someone told me that sheep go to heaven, and goats go to hell. But don't quote me on that.
