Basically a more loving, caring and benevolent gOD. I suppose that my question was geared towards the current idea of who and what gOD is.

The Old Testament is part of the KJV1611 bible, so if there is a Christian God then it must all be true otherwise God would have come down and smote all who spread blasphemy in His name. Christians can't just ignore half of the Bible because it's too difficult to explain the atrocities committed by God. The Christian Bible is the Christian Bible so anyone who doesn't believe the Bible is just a pretend christian.
So the child in the original example/question is doomed to an eternity of wailing and knashing of teeth in hell as it states in the New Testament Matthew 13:42 (". They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."), and John 5:24 (" I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.").
BTW, an aborted fetus (an even better example) is also doomed to eternity in hell according to the bible because he/she had not found God (been "saved") before his/her "murder".
So stop these crazy new age ideas "of who and what gOD is" and get your asses to church you sinning pornographers before it is too late!
