If all is "roses" there is no learning the transcendence of God.

There are very few who believe that the Christian life is all "roses", save a few deluded folks in the prosperity gospel sects. But let's be "authentic", shall we? Have you had a similar experience as Jeremiah? Has your pastor tied you up and whipped you in front of your congregation and town? Let's not suppose that our comfy American lifestyle in anyway represents the hardship that Jeremiah went through or any other Christian martrys. When you begin to experience hardships such as these then come back and talk to me about anger at God.

How about a beautiful 6 year old granddaughter who just died tragically in front of her father and all he could do was watch, powerless to save her?
