I think Luke is more an expert on the subject, but I think William Rowe’s argument ( on luke’s old site ) covers the “mysterious ways” quite well. I remember William Craig trying to come up with a terrible argument about animals not feeling “proper” pain to try to circumvent the problem.
Let’s wait for the true expert to step in, though ;)

I’d give the argument from evil. If there were a God like the one that Christians worship, the world wouldn’t suck as much as it does.
That does not invalidate the “argument” in any way, since mysterious ways include the sucky world, and in any case, it is all just a “test”.

Yeah, YHVH can be a right bastard at times...
