Question for the Christians posting.

I mean no disrespect as I was raised Catholic myself but I've started questioning a lot. I have a question that no one's ever been able to answer. If everything that happens is God's will, then why do innocent children die of cancer every day, why are they born with horrific birth defects, why would God want a child to suffer in this way? From a mom who's lived it first hand.

The closest explanation I have for god is that his will is that the universe runs itself

@Jackaloftheazuresand it's one of the reasons I don't believe in a personal anthropomorphic God. My definition of God is just the universe and that which connects all living things.

@basilfawlty89 Sometimes I understand people who think like you I really do then the next moment I wonder what you could mean by calling the universe god. To me you are just kinda saying well it is what it is and I don't see how thats any different than a true atheist.
