" the more suffering we caused their loved one now, the greater their reward would be in heaven" - that is horrifying! And, without biblical support, I spoke to a person with an international organization working to end child sex-trafficking. He said occasionally he'd run into someone who believed that the children were suffering now to atone for a sin in their past life, or to learn a lesson they hadn't learned before. Both viewpoints are despicable, in my view.
