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...

I'm afraid you are confused...
There is no hell where people are punished or tortured.
Dead are not conscious of anything...Body returns to dust.
Eccl 9:5,10
And, infant baptism serves no purpose as it is unscriptural.
How old was Jesus at his baptism?
