Why does bad things happen to good people?
I like to think of the second century saint, Irenaeus, and the 20th Century philosopher, John Hick help with this answer. Also known as the Irenaean theology. I truly believe "faith" is the answer. If God didn't set the laws of nature in motion and magically patted our collective butts whenever something bad happened we wouldn't mature. Think of raising a child, sometimes its best to let them fall and fail.
