the book of job, and an unjust god

How come we concentrate on individual cases and ignore the genocide of the Flood? Regardless of how many existed then, it must make other aberrations pale into insignificance. Funny how believers trot out the 'God is just' line, but ignore not only the Flood extermination, but the millions of believers who went to their deaths throughout history reciting the line 'ask and ye will receive'.Hell, I`m sure a lot of those kids who die in agony each year still believe that rubbish.

The whole reason of me laboring this issue is because I have read the bible and know that God is good and he could have miracled a painless death for the babies.

Fast forward to modern days. On the average, 15 million children die each year (it went up to 25 mill in the early `90s) from God-created diseases--malaria, dysentery, etc. They die in pain ,in squalor, in hunger. Where is their chance to live, to sin, to be repentant, to know God?
