Many Religions claim that GOD loves everyone and forgives the mistakes made by humans. If GOD Loves us, cares for us etc etc etc.. Then why many of the infants who would have not made any mistake die? If god punishes the sinners and the people who harm other people and animals its ok.. but the infants are innocent but why does GOD takes away their LIFE..... I need answers from the people from ALL THE Religions..

I have no religion (but apparently Im considered Atheist which is stupid since religions started when the first people tried explaining the unexplainable meaning no religion isn't a religion) but I believe in a force/system in place for everything. Ive seen people say to others that the ones that they love most suffer for their sins (stupidity in my view) though.

i dont know the real answer because only god can give the right answer for it. but it happens and what is more important is to accept it already and maybe there are other answer more than the religion factor. consider also the medical perspective why did it happen.

I think god does it because it might be the case that the baby was born at the wrong time and his living in the world would cause much problems to the umanity thats why he might have called the baby back

Well i wud like to bring the concept of KARMA here..... See whatever we do-good or bad-we have to pay the price here itself.. like say if we do sumthng good,we will get its benefits here in this life only... on the other hand,if we have done sumthng bad,then we will pay its price in this birth only... ok... but say if we did nt clear our accounts of KARMA in this birth,we have to take a birth again, only to clear off the account of our KARMA.... and once we clear if off,we r free.... so the new borns take birth only to clear off their account ..... this is what i have been groomed in.... well ur views may differ....

Hello systems I can only speak from the point of view of my understanding of the Judeo and Christian God, sometimes revealed in what is commonly known as the Bible. This God is not a taker. This God is a giver. Therefore, God does not take away the lives of new born children.

Hi systems, I really do not know why God allows some babies to die. Only He can answer that one. I do know that God has a reason...one that we may not totally understand until we get to Heaven. We know that the baby is with the Lord and we (believers) will see our loved ones there. I can't imagine the pain of losing a child. God knows the pain. Only He can give the comfort that we so need. God bless.

I believe fatalism.Everybody have their own life.Many things happen on you,but you can't know why.Maybe that happens because of something you have done before.Not this life,but your former life.GOD is always right.You can only see the new born children losing their life,but you can't know the reason.So don't doubt the GOD.Everthing is impartial.
