This seems to be a very shallow analysis of the question of theodicy. Modern theology isn't that ignorant of suffering and its origin as you might imagine.
I'm not a religious person, but I see how people see meaning in their belief systems. I don't see any underlying beliefs in your comment that have a positive attitude, it has a rather negative focus (without trying to neglect it).
I just happen to wonder what your goals are. What are you fighting for with this statement, what is the underlying belief system that leads you to this statement?

It's about as deep as is necessary. The answer is really that simple, people just don't like it.

Theology is (and has been for many centuries) expending a lot of effort to handwaving away the answer people don't like, that much is true.
Someone tell that to the millions of children who have died of AIDS.
