i find it quite funny that the pope recently abolished the limbo for small children. so if unbaptized children die they go to heaven now.
This was well overdue in Catholic theology but not particularly surprising. The Catholics have being playing down the importance of limbo for a while now and it has not even been officially taught now for a number of years.
I think you can see this as someone trying to clean up the big stuffy Catholic book of doctrine.

Well small children or not, I don't see anyone willing to hand it over either actually, so we have to assume someone is, we also have to assume that it will be '1 million' and we will also have to assume that we get it "later" when we believe in it "right now"... Not quite an offer you can't refuse, it smells like a hoax even it were true,
Cheers

well they arent of any accountable age, a just God would bring them to Heaven regardless of their choice.
In this country you are not tried as an adult untill you are 18, I am sure that God has a similar age of accountability which is not a solid age like 18 but since he knows all the hearts of every man, every man has an individual accountability to God.

No, I meant I do not literally see anyone, that wants to make this 'deal' so to speak.
I can't say yes to a question when nobody ever asked.
Supposedly there's a choice, but there's no evidence of choice, no one asking that question, no one carrying a suitcase with a question mark on it and asking the question 'if you believe that I am carrying 1 million dollars in this suitcase, then it will be all yours'.

Yeah, actually when reading what I've first wrote there i can understand that it reads like that. Sorry. As to how kind people can be, some are really really kind and are willing to give away pretty valuable things  , so no I don't really question a God's kindness in this respect either, Cheers
