I had an arguement with a Christian friend of mine.  When I asked her, "Why doesn't God just make everyone happy" I got a bunch of canned responses (God works in mysterious ways, God wants to give us choice...as if anyone could comprehend what God wants (if there is a God)).  Finally she just said, "I don't know...I'm not God".  THAT'S an honest answer!  I agree, I would rather hear an honest, thought-out response than lines that have been fed to you
