How does religion explain infant deaths?
We read about the deaths of babies and children as a result of wars, diseases, or simply human cruelty. What did they do to recieve such a tragic fate? Is there an explanation for this in any religion?

As long as there is sin in the world we will find things like this happening. It was not like this in the very beginning. Man had not made the choice to sin. Later, he did and sin always brings consequences with it. That just tells us all the more why we need Jesus. We are not accountable for the sins of our forefathers or Adam and Eve. We are accountable for our own sins. It matters what choices we make.
There was a massive flash flood not far from here. Several people died. It was late at night, and many were buried alive while sleeping. This included both children and infants. This has gotten me thinking.
