Limbo

As well as the limbo of the fathers, there is the limbo of the infants: the destination of babies who, though they cannot enter heaven because they have not been baptised, are guilty of no personal sin. As St Gregory Nazianzen put it, these infants “will neither be admitted by the just judge to the glory of Heaven nor condemned to suffer punishment.” That those who die in original sin only are confined to hell in this sense is not a theological opinion but a dogma of the Catholic Church solemnly defined by the seventeenth ecumenical council in 1438, which taught “the souls of those who depart this life in actual mortal sin, or in original sin alone, go down straightaway to hell to be punished, but with unequal pains.”

I think the church closed the deed on that place, but it sure provides a look into the cruelty and silliness of religion.

1. Better baptize those brats early, so they don't have to stay in Limbo.

Isn't religion wonderful? It's such a beautiful thing...

[Pope George Ringo II]

2. I always associate "How low can you go?" with limbo.

No reason to make an exception, really.

3. Pretty sure the Mormons picked up the crazy baton after the RCC dropped it

They are very big on the idea of posthumous baptism. I'm pretty sure they have the names of all atheists in a database somewhere so they can drag our sorry asses to Kolob somewhere down the road.
