[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What explains the suffering of children to people who aren’t religious? Is it just random terrible things, and then the child suffers and dies and is snuffed out of existence?

To some, I think. A friend who was atheist was dying of a terrible illness and that is certainly how he viewed it. I lived, I suffer, I die, and am no more. I found it very sad that he viewed life as so pointless, but others found his point of view somehow comforting. [/quote]

Did he say life was pointless, or did you imagine it?
It's quite sad that you find life so pointless that you wish for something to exist outside of life to give it a point. [/quote]

What’s the point in the life of a baby with cancer? They suffer and die, what is the point to their lives? [/quote]

I’d like to know the answer to this too. Can someone explain how they view this secularly?[/quote]

All life on earth (and earth itself) is random. Both the suffering and the joy.
All we can do is attempt to create meaningful experiences for ourselves while we are here.

But we are still subject to randomness that cannot be expained, controlled or "prayed" away.[/quote]

So what is the meaningful experience of a baby born, developing cancer, and dying?[/quote]

Anyone?[/quote]

They might touch a soul on earth and will be one with God in heaven when they die.[/quote]

I think some religious people believe that.

So far 2 secular posters have posted and they have different opinions; in fact, one believes that the other secular poster is an immoral monster for their opinion. [/quote]

I have no idea if that poster that typed "[i]Ok so in the secular view, babies die from cancer randomly and their lives mean nothing[/i]" is religious or not. They did not state explicitly but it certainly appeared to be a religious person straw-man mis-paraphrasing another statement.

I can't prove it but it certainly appears YOU typed it, and if so, you are in fact a horrific immoral insensitive monster.  [/quote]

Nope. I asked this question: So what is the meaningful experience of a baby born, developing cancer, and dying?

The 2 posts that answered that question were not typed by me. I didn’t answer my own question pretending to be someone else.

You immoral insensitive monster is another secular poster. [/quote]
