There's an inherent assumption in the question that only someone who believes in a god could answer, and I get the impression that's a bridge too far for booney. And I think that's where difference lies.
But that assumption is already made because booney thinks he is a right 4 star...
The assumption in your question was that there is a god, fullstop. If you adopt a non-believing point of view, which I understand booney holds, then I don't think you're question can be answered.
To be honest, I'm not sure this forum's going to resolve this age-old existential issue that people have rusted-on views of, on both sides, nor answer why a 4 year old dies of disease. You can rely on empirical evidence, or faith, or bits of both, whatever. No-one's come back from the other side, so no-one really knows who's pulling the strings.
In these times I think it's less about the why and and more about the how/response for those grieving.
