One of the biblical God's favorite sacrifices and snacks are babies.
I see no reason why not. If anyone is under the Age of Accountability, they are. It makes perfect sense that God takes these poor babies home to be with Him

@Diotrephes Chapter and verse please. I insist you show me what verse says that God considers babies a snack
@Diotrephes
...I don't think you're right about that. I can only remember one child sacrifice to god that actually happened.
Usually it's doves and calfs and goats.

Deuteronomy 28:56-57 (TLB) ="The most tender and delicate woman among you—the one who would not so much as touch her feet to the ground—will refuse to share with her beloved husband, son, and daughter. She will hide from them the afterbirth and the new baby she has borne, so that she herself can eat them: so terrible will be the hunger during the siege and the awful distress caused by your enemies at your gates."
Revelation 12:4 (TLB) = "His tail drew along behind him a third of the stars, which he plunged to the earth. He stood before the woman as she was about to give birth to her child, ready to eat the baby as soon as it was born."

Sorry no.
Deuteronomy is not talking about what god wants, it's talking about how terrible will be the suffering of the Israelites for straying that a woman will eat her new baby.
And in Revelation it's talking about the adversary, not god
God likes the smell of burnt animal flesh but there's no basis to the claim that god's preferred sacrifices and "snacks" are babies.

@Diotrephes Yeah neither of those are an ideal situation. In fact the dragon of Revelation is considered by most to be Satan! And Deuteronomy is talking about how bad things will get in a potential "defeated country" scenario. And note He doesn't tell these women to eat their babies, He is describing what they might choose to do. Context matters a lot.

He isn't much of a God if he can't, or won't, prevent such things from happening.

@Diotrephes Or perhaps He has perspectives we can't see or fathom. His wisdom and knowledge is infinite and perfect, unlike ours

@TexasDude
Such a scenario makes sense if you are the only real person alive and everything else is fake. In that case you, as the sole real person, are being exposed to all kinds of events to see how you react and if you do anything to make things better. It would be the ultimate mind game but completely feasible for an all-power God to do.
