RE: How can a god, that apparently loves everyone, allow this kind of thing to happen?

As humans, we have tried hard to make a judicial system that is fair to all. Have we succeeded? I would say yes, although there is a long way to go. War criminals stand trial for crimes against humanity nowadays. That sort of justice didn't exist even 100 years ago.
What is my point? Our laws are getting better, and evolving to adapt to better ideals and logic. God's laws? They are old and stagnant, and worst of all, it is obvious that God is above any law, even the ones he made. No, life isn't fair, but at least mankind is doing something about that flaw. If there is a God, he obviously cares little for righteousness and the betterment of mankind.
Life is not fair, and secular ideas deal with it. Religion does not.
