You are not punished for something others have done, you are or will be punished for your own sin.
Then you better go and talk to other Christians because they think otherwise, start at Liberty University

They disobeyed God, God cursed the creation and allowed Satan to work in the lives of man, thus disease and other nasty things were allowed to exist and we sometimes run head on into them, meaning thing happen and other times God uses them in the lives of people for a purpose.Really? What is a purpose of a child dying of leukemia? Or one thousand children under the age of 5 that die every hour every day in excruciating pain?

Actually no.

Many things?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
