Everything does happen for a reason... but these reasons have nothing to do with any type of planification..

I try not to respond, but if I am force to, I say, "I don't believe that", and try to walk away.

In the heat of the moment I don't think even most theists want to hear platitudes such as that.

It angers me. There is no god, ergo no plan from god. If there were a loving god, he she, or it would create horrible or disasterous situations for people to be in.

I usually roll my eyes being careful not to let the grieving person notice. But, Jezus really? Shit happens and our brains try to make sense out of the un-senseable and reason is born.
