So Gandhi goes to hell? Hard to wrap my heart around that one.

Yeah, this is the crux of a discussion I had with some JWs that knocked on the door many years ago. I asked about a child born in China to Taoist parents. If the baby dies, where does it go? According to these fine missionaries, the baby wasn't baptized so it goes to hell. No matter where it was born or what the circumstances. That pesky original sin. I just can't see a compassionate God working that way, or at least the way *I* have found a higher power. Hence my rejection of dogmatic religion...
