Why god did them is irrelevant, the fact he can do it and chooses not to do it now is devasting for his supposed attribute of omnibenevolance. It wouldn't be an issue if you said well apart from not being perfect and being all loving he is really, really,nearly, nearly perfect. But you don't you claim perfection and I'm calling that out.
Let's get this out of the way there is no nearly He is perfect. God did not make these situations happen to do so He would have had to create sin and He did not do that. Sin came into existence through Satan's disobedience and came into the creation by mans disobedience. Thus suffering was the result. You keep saying that God kills babies yet you say nothing about the millions of babies that are aborted every year. If God were the total controlling being you say He should be then this would not happen and the freedom of choice would be gone. So do you want to do away with a womans right to choose I do not see God doing that. By your logic God should stop this and do away with freedom of choice.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
