Christians sometimes attempt to explain this suffering by saying that all humans are sinners, and so deserve their fate, even if it is a horrible one. But infants and small children are just as likely to suffer and die in natural disasters as adults, and it seems impossible that they could deserve to suffer and die.
基督徒有时候试图通过这样的说法来解释这样的不幸：所有的人都是罪人，因而他们命该如此，即使这样的命运非常可怕。但是婴儿和小孩与成年人一样都有可能在自然灾害中遭遇不幸和死亡，并且他们好像不太可能罪该遭遇不幸和死亡。
