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?

God is not mad at us. Not even a little bit. He came not to condemn the world, but to save it, as it mentions in John 3:16 and 17. He would love to have us all in heaven with him. In order to do that, we must recognize that we do have sin in our lives, and need Jesus to save us from the consequences and condemnation that sin brought on us . But through Jesus, we can have eternal life in heaven with him. Forever. It just makes sense that we cannot drag our sins into a holy heaven but when we recognize this, the minute we ask for forgiveness, God forgives us and gives us a brand new life in him and eternal life in heaven. This makes us fit for heaven.
