Only Allah, whom the infidels of the book call God or YHVH, can decide who lives or dies. If he decides a child should not be upon this earth we may not understand why, but who are we mere mortals to say He has done wrong?
Remind me again who dispatched those assassins? I am not responsible for the evil acts of others.
The rest of your argument is too abstruse for this merely Byzantine reasoner. Ask me about the Trinity and I'll find something to say; ask me to justify the death of children, or somehow make bringing them into the world equivalent to killing them, and I find myself silent. I shall stick to the simple essentials of the matter: In this conflict there has been one side that killed children, and one that did not. A bright dividing line that I'm glad to find myself on the correct side of.
If you look back lo ...God favours our cause: Observe that no less .. a daughter! Surely it is a sign of divine favour that we need not sully our souls with the deaths of children, merely for political ambitions.

So the correct side IS child murder then?
So.. for what ambitions WOULD you sully your souls etc.?
Wait, reasoned debate? You gave up and said you didn't understand. Then proceded to declare you were right because you were right, and were on the correct sign of the 'Bright Line'.I have dispatched no assassins, authorised no killings, uttered no plausibly-deniable shouts of "will no-one rid me of this troublesome heir?". Having lost the reasoned debate, you now descend to mere name-calling, like a child who can think of nothing more clever to say than "you're another!".

Indeed, I cannot follow the tortured reasoning that keeps your conscience clean, if it does. I can only note that no children are dead at my hands. A fundamental fact of great simplicity, which sweeps away all your complicated edifice of rationalisation. Look dead Malhaz in the eye, or Vakhtang who has lived to bury his son, and tell them of your skill at reasoned debate.
So I suppose paying people to assassinate children is not against Bulgarian consciences?
What child do you accuse me of hiring killers for?
Nonetheless, either we are free actors or we are puppets; and why should an almighty God create mere puppets?
A theological discussion? In MY AAR thread?
This deserves some AAR rewards!

hmm.. but the fact does still stand : Somebody INTENDED to kill that specific child.. and did. It is hard to see THAT as a good ot benign act!
So does the specificity make it worse?

Well, in fiction yes it does.So does the specificity make it worse?
