If you mean human children, then you need not fear for them. Children do not become sinners. They are welcomed into Heaven.

A brief pause.

If you are speaking of Hellborn children, that is different. They were not judged and sent there. They were born there.

Are you comparing me to some silly bird?

I am a Seraphim! The High Seraphim!

You dare compare me to some waterfowl!?

I, a celestial Seraphim, don't "f with" music. I listen to hymns. Angelic choruses. Divine symphonies. Things of that ilk.

Oh, that's a delightful question!

Your concern is noted.

A slight pause.
