Or
"I have faith that god sees the bigger plan".

I'm sick of hearing these when talking to religious people. What is the best response to these statements?

There are many questions we don't have answers to - but it is extremely difficult to identify those that we will never have answers to. What must be avoided at all costs, however, is the idea that the answer to any question we don't have an answer to, is God.

This is "God of the cracks" and it has a very poor track record historically.

As for Good seeing the bigger plan - what plan? Why should there be a plan?
