Many xians say that the children that were slaughtered in Sodom, Egypt (10th plague), Jericho, etc... were going to be bad their entire lives so god was justified in killing them. Is there any real difference between god killing a baby and "allowing" a baby to die? God is omnipotent and omniscient. It doesn't take any effort for him to be aware of every single atom in the universe.
For example, assume I'm on a platform with 100 babies next to a shark tank. I pick up 20 babies and throw them in to make a point to the onlookers below that they'd better listen to me. Then I sit there and watch as 20 more babies crawl slowly over to the edge and tumble into the tank. And I weep a tear for the bad decisions they made. Does that make sense to anyone?
