Burden of proof means the person making the positive statement has the burden. I'm saying we don't do something (kill off children), you're making the claim we should do it so the burden is fully on you.
I take it you're not a Christian then? Because they're all the children of God, created in His image so we all have inherent dignity. These children didn't rape or murder etc that would cause them to forfeit their lives by their own actions.
I believe being a human being gives you inherent value.
You need to pay attention to with whom you are speaking, and you need to stop lying when there's a written record of your words to refer to.
I made no claims about it being good to randomly kill people; I merely denied your claim that all children are precious and deserve life. It's on you to justify those statements, because you have put forth falsifiable positive statements.
No, I am not Christian, though I am loathe to say that because I know, KNOW some chucklehead will pop up out of the grass to call me a jew shortly, and I don't recognize any claims to morality from it (or any other religion), because they all stem from appeals to an authority we have no evidence exists. Ergo, I don't share your opinion that all humans have inherent value, and I have numerous data points from reality I can point to that suggest that over 50% of "gods children" are an actual net negative on humanity as a whole.
That last part is where my insistence on the person human/ not person human divide stems from.
