This is the exact line you get when you ask a jew if circumcision is moral. Sure, we can't understand everything about God, but God for sure should be questioned. God is unconditional love. God should love his children questioning about his wonderful creation, learning more about it, how he set it up, why he did it that way.
Romans:
28 For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, and true circumcision is not something visible in the flesh. 29 On the contrary, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart—by the Spirit, not the letter.[a] That man’s praise[b] is not from men but from God.
The physical mutilation is not of Christ, a Chlristian circumcision is inward, of the heart and spirit, not the mutilation of the body prescribed by the Pharisees.
I'm aware of that passage, I'm just trying to say that not questioning religious dogma and people who preach it is how you get shit like child genital mutilation straight out of the womb.
God gave us brains for a reason.
I do not question the dogma of Jesus Chirdt, the son of God, He will not lead you astray. He was sent to question and revolt against the dogma of the Pharisees, who were preaching false and destructive teachings.
I'm sure the jews would say pretty much the same thing about their religion.

Yeah, there is a lot to consider in this vein.
Babies are baptized because Church teaching was that unbaptized people go to Hell automatically. Lots of babies used to die, so you baptized them ASAP to prevent them from going to Hell if they died early.
But if God is all-knowing, all-loving and all-powerful... then this makes no sense. An all-knowing and all-loving being would never damn a baby over baptism. An all-powerful being could bring an unbaptized person to Heaven.
So to insist babies should be baptized is to DENY God as all-knowing, all-loving and all-powerful. It is a MORTAL SIN to deny God. It's sacrilege.
If you continue this line of thinking.....
If God is an all knowing, all powerful being, why would he make his truth only in one religion, one book? You'd think you'd be able to find truth regardless of where you were born. Does God just damn everyone thats never heard of Christianity? Does he damn people in Africa who don't have the ability to comprehend faith?
None of that makes any sense if God is an all knowing all powerful and loving being.
If he's that, he wouldn't damn anyone at all for anything. I think he would give them infinite chances to learn about his creation, use their free will how they choose.

God has showed up in dreams, visions, and interactions in other parts of the world though, ex:

The official Church line was that people who never got a chance to accept Jesus were off the hook, AFAIK.
Which makes the whole "bring the Word of God to the world" thing weird. You could just get rid of Christianity and therefore save everyone.
I think the counter balance is supposed to be "Jesus died for your sins" thing, and so we have to minimize sin to minimize His suffering.
Sounds like a plug for reincarnation there, haha.
My Jesuit religion teacher in high school would say all religions are ladders to the same roof. You can make all of them work with the same God expressing Himself different ways if you want to.
