Life is not fair, just deal with it.
That's a terrible defense for an omnipotent god.
No one is saying that god should babysit, but why would a god who is responsible for the existence of everything allow little children that have done nothing to deserve it to suffer? If god allows it, it either must be necessary, or god is cruel. What necessity does such suffering provide?
