Oh, I see. No, you've got a point there: the 'why do bad things happen to good people?' question. I won't speak for best, but in my experience this is usually just answered with something like...
'god works in mysterious ways'
or
'god is all-knowing, we aren't' (i.e., we don't always know what god's will is).

My favorite was what the pastor said in a comparative theology class I took: 'Don, we'll leave that one to the Jesuits'.
He was a Lutheran....
