Is it fair? Why bad things happen to good people, sentence 4

Christians remember that Jesus himself cried on the cross, «My God, why have you forsaken me?», so doubt and anger can sit inside faith, and people of every belief can turn anger at unfairness into helping, as when Christians care for orphans.

Who acts: Christians, Jesus, you, doubt, people · What happens: remember, cry, forsake, sit, turn, help · To what, where: cross, Jesus, faith, anger, unfairness · Speech: someone speaks here
