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?

In Christianity, God does not promise us immortality within our human bodies. Instead, (especially with innocent and flawless babies and little children), we are promised immortality of the soul.
When we left the garden of Eden, we became subject to ALL the ills of this world. All of us.
God didn't promise to protect ANY of us from physical death or suffering. Instead, He promises to stand at our side, and provide us with comfort for the sadness and tears, to lend us His strength to deal with the pain and suffering, and His own Light...to show us the way.
All we have to do is recognize God, and accept Him, and accept His help. And He DOES help. I can testify to that.
