OK.
We're told God is great. God is good. God cares for all of His people. God is merciful. And, so on.
Now.
We're also told that this all powerful and knowing God will beat the crap out of us and make us burn in hell forever if we don't believe in Him. Wow, did someone get up on the wrong side of the bed, or what?
I think some folks say that if you're not baptized that you go to hell. Hmmm. Let's see. A baby is born. And, sadly and tragically, shortly after birth dies. Now, is God sending this baby to hell because the baby wasn't baptized?
Hey, how about some of the poor folks who live in the ran forests and such and have never heard of God. When these poor folks die do they burn in hell? Now, assuming for the moment that there is this God...and that yes, he would make these folks burn in hell forever because they didn't know of him and as they didn't, would have no way of throwing in with Him, so to speak. Wow, does that seem fair to anyone?
And, how about our mentally retarded who just don't have the capacity to understand things like religion....how about those folks? Same answer? I would assume. Yep, truck 'em off to hell. But, but....ahhh, they had no way of knowing. They are innocent human beings with a horrible disability (oh, almost forgot...did God do that?....wow, wouldn't that be something....he makes mentally retarded people knowing that they don't have the capacity to understand about Him...and then shoots those folks to hell....hmmm...talking about ironies and what would seem a gross misuse of power. ....). Too bad. The hell with them. They should know the rules.
Folks....and...let's see.....you pray to this guy. Wow. Is this kind of person you'd invite over for dinner? Is this the kind of person you'd let babysit your kids? Hmm....

God loves you despite your anger. Also, God provides salvation for everyone. Nobody is exempt from this. Not even the child who has no chance (as mentioned in your post).
The person of Christ died for the world, and that includes past finite (those before the event of his atonement).
God needn't answer to your anger and make you feel all warm inside. God does not need to be accountable to our questions and angry outbursts about why this and why that.
If He has provided for eternal bliss to be with Him in his grand creation, what is this life that you should question this, whether suffering or an easy life?
A few points to ponder.
