But why do you consider it inconceivable that God has plans that you/we are not privvy to? Or that He has an understanding of things that you don't, or that doesn't make sense to you now, but might in a million years from now?

I don't consider that inconceivable at all. It seems hard to conceive that my support matters in the least for this plan but its at least as likely that withholding my support for seemingly unjustified suffering is what god wants for this plan.
