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.

Sorry you had to go through that, and sorry for your child.

I dont think there is, or can be, a good answer to that. The best you'll get is 'its gods mysterious purpose', or maybe 'its a judgement on you (or your family or your city or your nation/race/sect'. Which is to say, really bullsht handwaves pretending to be answers.
