Suppose there is God and reincarnation and the karma law and that poor child in the past life kill and rape.
Wouldn't be normal for that child to experience the same terrible feeling that he caused to other people?

Now don't come to quick conclusion once again thinking that I think that that child deserve the punishment.
That is not my job to give punishment nor to think that that child should suffer.
My job is to help that poor child to survive and do well.
At the same time if God exist and the karma exist then is in his hands to run the business to keep
justice in the universe so the people learn and the universe exist.
One more option to consider Aro would be to think that nobody really die.
Energy and consciousness are indestructible so that child will live on for ever after this terrible experience.
I have been a Christian for 28 or so years (a good portion of which I was quite dedicated, church regularly, even dreamed of being a nun).
I have been a Taoist.
I have been an atheist.
I have looked into and adopted ideas from numerous religions, such as Buddhism.
I have been a compatibilist, a dualist, a determinist, and a naturalist. 
Some of these I have discarded, some I may yet discard.

I have considered many ideas and options in my life, and even changed my points of view on more than one occasion. 
I am still open to changing my points of view.  
It seems to me that I'm not the dogmatic one. Perhaps you are projecting

As far as your guessing is turned into a solid and firm belief then you got to be very careful.
You are guessing that God did this or that without even understand why.
What about if God would have a good reason to do this or that?
Have you ever heard of the kangaroo court where people are declared guilty before real evidence is brought forward?  Lightbulb
