By stopping people questioning God's design? It seems to me that the direction of any theodicy like this is simply to forestall argument, by placing your hand on your heart and saying, "I have faith". Although anyone may convince themselves of the existence of a greater plan, this type of argument really just provides a ready response to any objection, rather than providing any positive reasoning.

Not my argument, but it works. But there’s always the argument that he made it that way on purpose and it’s all part of some greater plan… Not my argument, but it works.

I'm not an atheist, but I do believe the fundamentalists should all be hog tied and beaten with a very large stick. Thanks for the tip, it sounds like a great site.
