Why did St. Augustine decide that unbaptized infants go to Hell? I do not think it was from hatred of infants. I think the psychological root was hatred of himself. Hatred of oneself is a commoner emotion than is sometimes thought, and it is apt to find its outlet in cruelty towards others. The men who sacrificed their children to Moloch felt that they themselves deserved to suffer at his hands, but they hoped that their children's sufferings would satisfy him. |
