Innocent Children?

Post written by:

I don't know about other religions, but it seems that in Christianity and Islam, children go to heaven. They are counted as pure an innocent, and that's why they're allowed into heaven automatically.

Yet, we hear so many ghost stories of children, babies and so on.

Anyone care to answer why?

"the answer for the children ghost is maybe because they got murdered and they want to get revenge"

"Well maybe about the babies being ghosts, its probably because in malay dark magic, fetuses are dug from graves and pickled into bottles or dried and made into amulets. Then, the bomoh would usually conjure up the spirit of the fetus in order to do their bidding, these 'babies' would usually be given sacrifices as a form of exchange. This is what i heard, its still refutable."
