The doctrine of limbo - which has absolutely no Biblical support - was created entirely to get around the issue of what happens to unbaptised babies when they die. It was a jump the shark moment for the church. (ok, the doctrine of the trinity was the first one, but when God owns the network you don't get cancelled not matter what the ratings)

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
