This is how demented you can get when religion takes over your life.
As soon as the original video was uploaded to YouTube (link below) the criticisms came rolling in - and not just from atheists. Other Christians were appalled to find one of their own (the FivePointBaptist) declaring that his fellow believers would be prepared to slaughter babies simply because they were born to non-Christian parents.
Within a very short time the uploader tried to explain the situation by adding captions that were displayed while the video was playing . He said that the preacher (FivePointBaptist) wasn't saying that Christians would actually "go around slaughtering all the babies," but that they might be tempted to do so. Nope. The FivePointBaptist very clearly said,
"A lot of Christians would go around slaughtering all the babies. They'd go to the Muslim countries and slaughter all the Muslim babies and all the Hindu babies, to guarantee their salvation."
The YouTube uploader went on to claim that Christians actually have a good reason to murder the babies of non-Christian parents because if they were left alive they might grow up to rebel against god!
Even more pathetically, the uploader also stated that baby slaughtering Christians would not be acting out of hatred but with love! If the babies grew up in another religion they would miss their chance for "eternal bliss" so best to kill them straightaway; best to deny them their threescore years and ten, and turn them into sunbeams for Jesus before that option is closed to them..
The uploader went even further and said that, "God does not take innocent life," thus implying that if a Christian kills a Muslim or a Hindu baby then, by definition, the baby is not innocent (because God would not allow it to be killed otherwise). Furthermore (says the uploader) the non-Christian parents would have no reason to complain because they do not have Christian morality and are therefore unable to hold any valid opinions "concerning preserving innocent life."
And finally the uploader points out that people don't care about the number of abortions that occur around the world, so why should they get all uppity if "A lot of Christians would go around slaughtering all the babies."
Then the FivePointBaptist tries to defend himself in the video's comments section.
He says that nice Christians like him would never slaughter babies, but: "Most people who profess the name of Christ are not true converts," and they are the ones who "would run around killing babies." Fancy that! Christians with the same beliefs as the FivePointBaptist are the true believers and everyone else is not a "real" Christian. Isn't that handy? [All swans are white if you don't count the black ones.]
In a follow-up comment the FivePointBaptist explains that we can accept his weasel-words because he has the special ability to recognise fake Christians whenever they appear. He writes, "I've been studying the bible and apologetics for about 10 years, I've know [sic] the difference between true and false converts for some time now."

So
that's how the video uploader and the FivePointBaptist have tried to
scramble back onto the moral high ground, but they have failed miserably
- and everything said in the video clearly demonstrates that they
are among the most despicable people on the planet. They casually
declare that in certain circumstances Christians would consider it appropriate to slaughter babies born
to non-Christian parents, and furthermore, the parents wouldn't have the
right to complain because they do not possess "Christian morality" !
Watch the video again. Imagine if this creep was teaching your children at Sunday School.
-----
Like so many Christian preachers, the FivePointBaptist is probably a control freak who gets his kicks by telling people what to do and when to do it. When he says jump he expects people to jump - and if they don't? Well they'd be better off dead. The thought pops easily into his head because that's how God usually solves these problems - and the FivePointBaptist regards
himself as God's little helper so he tends toward a similar problem solving technique.
So now the FivePointBaptist considers the problem of children born to non-Christian parents. They're not going to obey his orders. They're not going to jump when he says jump. So what good are they? No good at all. Might as well get rid of them. Might as well kill them.
But he doesn't have the courage of his convictions. He is much too afraid to tell his audience that if God gave him the OK he would be quite happy to start killing babies --- so he projects his baby-killing desires onto other Christians! He let's them take the blame for his own sick fantasy.
And we know it is his fantasy because there was no-one else telling him that they were interested in starting a Crusade against babies. There were no Christians saying they wanted to "go to the Muslim countries and slaughter all the Muslim babies". Those words came directly from the FivePointBaptist himself.
And when I call him an "arsehole", he will condemn me as the crude one!
