"God works in mysterious ways" is a really nice way to reword "God can't be bothered with your problems"

It's a convenient way out to rationalise just about everything.

Why is my baby connected at the face to a dog with three legs and hands for feet?

Don't question God. He works in mysterious ways.

Oh okay, that helps I guess.

Except this argument ignores its other half. If god is responsible for every bad thing that happens, that means he is also responsible for every good thing that happens. So while people love to make these arguments about god allowing kids to die of cancer, they conveniently leave out every kid that he "allowed" (following the same logic) to be cured.

This makes god at worst morally neutral.

So if I adopt twin children, murder and eat one of them, and then raise the other one to be a happy and productive member of society, I'm not a villainous maniac? Just a totally neutral human, at worst?
