Religious teachings claim that God loves us all, and yet he allows sinless children to suffer unspeakable horrors and agony. That is NOT a sign of love, no matter how convuluted and twisted an argument one might present about God's "gift to us of freewill," or that "the ways of God are too mysterious for mortals to understand," or that "evil must exist so that good can also exist," and so on and so on. If...repeat IF...God is all powerful then He should be able to spare children the pain and horror of evil without taking away or weakening any of the other "good" things he does for us.
Any REASONABLE thoughts welcomed, but try to spare me the vagueries of scripture.
