Are children innocent, pure at heart?

Are children innocent, pure at heart?

Is God wrong for punishing children?

Is it wrong for children to be tried as adults in terms of penal punishment?

Everyone chime in.

No, children are:

Satanists who do wrong as long as it gives them pleasure.

They have no moral standard outside of "this feels good to me, so its good".

Now, you ask if children should be tried as adults.

Obviously not.

If a 5 year old were to take a gun and shoot someone, 

punishing a 5 year old with 10 years of adult prison would be obviously absurd,

As it doesnt contribute much to anything,

And children are often abused in prison.

Of course, I maintain belief that every being can be transformed into good person,

And that severe punishments arent means to do that and arent even morally justified.

The main way of transforming someone into a good person isnt, contrary to popular belief:

"You must accept my world view or get punished".

The main way of transforming someone into a good person is through reward system.

"Accepting these premises would give you that and that good things in life".

"If you didnt hurt people anymore, it would make it easier for you to become friends with good people and meet good life partner and find a place in society which gives you peaceful life."

Further, one must understand that individual is a product of society, and placing a child in an environment full of criminals would just bring more criminal ideas into its mind.

The pro-prison ideology must defend the position:

"Being around criminals isnt going to make child more criminal"

When all statistics show contrary.

All biologics are born ignorant

Can a bad person do good and vice versa?

Yes.

How can good come from bad?

Because to be bad, you must do more wrong than right, but dont have to do everything wrong. 

You can do few right things along the way.

You can't get good from bad. You get bad from bad.

You can't get a good picture broadcast from a bad signal. 

So in your world,

There is only good and bad,

And good people cannot do anything bad,

And bad people cannot do anything good.

This makes me curious. 

What is good according to you?

And what is bad according to you?

How old is a child?

At any age a child will behave relative to it's ongoing conditioning.

Therefore, what is innocence?

And what does pure at heart mean?

Sentimental BS perhaps.
