So much of conventional Christianity is abhorrent to the Master—it is such a sham.
And that is this—the teaching that a little child—or rather the soul enthroned in the body of a little child perishes if it dies before it is baptised is a cruel lie.
Anything more monstrous—or more unlike the overwhelming love of God and our Master for every soul is impossible to imagine.
It is also wrong from another point of view. Nothing can destroy the ego. No sin, however seemingly unforgivable. That kind of ego would have an enormously long time of discipline, but in the end would stand before the great God, redeemed, restored, forgiven.
—The Witness
