Human suffering will endure as long as humans inhabit the Earth. As long as someone get ahead by stepping on your neck to do so, they will. People suck, end of story.

Dying dogs are part of god plan so it's safe to assume that dying kids are too:

The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Even if God exists, he doesn't intervene in peoples life's at all, judging by how many kids die. Such non-interventionist God wouldn't draw as much people as the one who answers prayers and has plan for everyone.

god is too busy with all the important issues, like the Grammys and the NFL to be bothered with curing cancer or feeding the starving children.

And praying is just fucking nuts even if you do believe. Change based on prayer would unmake an omniscient god.

People aren't the only source of suffering in this world. There's also daytime TV,  gospel music, and NRA-TV.
