Why would Jesus..

that supposedly died for our sins out of love, forgiveness, and compassion allow eight million children to be born each year with a serious genetic birth defect. And further more, why would he allow several hundred thousand or more children to suffer from the sins of their parents?

And if that isn't enough to chew on, why would he allow 20,000 to 40,000 children to starve to death every single day?

Why would an omnipotent and omniscient God, that is also benevolent, willingly allow innocent children to suffer or, in many cases, die prematurely? God cannot be all powerful, all knowing, and have a passion to do good while also allowing the mass suffering of children.

And for the record, I don't buy into God works in mysterious ways either. That's such a cop out...Christians and Pastors alike love to teach what God wants, feels, needs, and expects out of us, but when they don't have a good explanation, they explain it with God works in mysterious ways.
