Oh, wow, that's a bigee! It's essentially the "why does God allow some, but not others, to suffer?" The writer of the book of Ecclesiastes is in sympathy with all of us who struggle with that question - "Everything is in vain!". I like the writer of that book, I think he (assuming a "he") sums up what we all feel and think at times. The writer of Job nearly goes there as well, but essentially says "you can't judge God, you don't know enough", whereas the writer of Ecclesiastes just says it as it is.
The short answer is "I don't know", though that doesn't necessarily stop me talking about it Monas @ Does anyone actually find Jesus interesting?:)
You don't find it all convenient that the miraculous healings provided by your God don't extend to obvious physical things like regrowing limbs or healing deformities?
It's convenient that 'I'm coming back with an army of angels to settle everyone's hash' could be interpreted to mean 'I will appear in secret to 3 guys in a secluded spot and everything will be pretty much the same'.
