You have two options, either your god watches terrible things happen and does nothing to stop them or he can't stop them, that either makes him immoral or impotent. A third explanation would be that he doesn't stop evil because he can't because he doesn't exist.

B-but, god has to let children get cancer or else their parents won't learn some cryptic moral lesson! Can't you see how great god is? You have to look on the bright side!
