Nice one, yeah I can't stand these cop outs.
They all pretty much mean, "I've given up using my brain and can't defend my position any further, but somehow I'm right."
It annoys me how in one breath God is beyond our understanding and his plan too complex for us to grasp, and in the next he is transparently all-good.
Assume God has a plan which is the best plan we could have for us, and which we could not hope to understand. Why do people constantly nag him to alter it for short term benefits after admitting they have no clue about what is really good for them? (Prayer.)

A series of short pithy comebacks for each of these would be nice.

Yeah, shame God got all mysterious and inactive these days. He used to be all up in dude's faces in the old days, roasting them alive for farting on a Sunday. I guess he got bored of that and decided to go mess up another planet instead.
