You seriuosly dont believe that do you? The God that watches over sparrows and knows the number of each hair on our heads. The same God that seeks a relationship with us all throught history. The same God that paid our sin debt and loves us more than any of his other creatures even angels? The same God that does everything to bring honor and glory to him.
You were just being snide right?

Cancer.
Homicide.
Rape.
Still born babies.
etc.
etc.

all could easily be stopped with a wave of his hand.

but he doesn't

If he has his reasons, fine.

Why not let us in on it?

and face it, there isn't anything to be learned from any of those experiences that we don't already know.

If he exists and still lets those things happen to good people then he's no better then anyone else and not worthy of my worship.

"If he has his reasons, fine. Why not let us in on it?" ... you have to open your eyes to see what He has already done to let us know.

"If he exists and still lets those things happen to good people then he's no better then anyone else and not worthy of my worship." In a nutshell, this is your opinion of God... hopefully someone, somehow you will repent of this disrespect to God.

Give me one good reason why God has to answer to you?

Do you not know where that child is? Do you think the child is better in the world or in heaven? Do you not know the comfort He gives those who believe in Him who loose loved ones? - where did God say (after man sinned) that this world would be a bed of roses? Where did God say we would not suffer? Have you ever asked why man has to kill, rape, steal, lie, and cheat and call these things "disorders" instead of sin? Have you ever asked why mankind would crucify God on the cross?

none of this is an answer to my statement.

First, you answer my question with an irrelevant question. I was asking you, not god.

Secondly, ok .... the child is now in heaven. That doesn't answer my question. My question was not 'where do still born babies go?', it was a statement: 'give me one good reason why god would make a child still born.'

Third, the child being in heaven is irrelevant too. If god wanted the child in heaven so badly, it is certainly within his scope to get it before birth.

Fourth, I never said god said this world would be a bed of roses .... also, that has nothing to do with the statement I made that you are currently evading.

The rest of your post also has nothing to do with the statement I made. You didn't even do a very good job evading the point.

so again, give me one good reason why god would make a child still born.

Because He is God and you are not.

None of those are reasons. They are just statements that very loosely pertain to the subject.

I never claimed I was (what are you talking about). Also, you have not given a reason.

If you don't have one, just say so.
