Many people who believe in some form of "God" also understand that His purpose isn't the elimination of suffering and death on Earth.

Much of theology is about trying to explain the purpose of suffering, death and tragedy on Earth. If you are inclined to believe in an afterlife is it not concievable that suffering is a trial and death is a passage?
