I think that what they are trying to point out is the stupidity of Christian teaching, how when they don't have an explanation, they resort to "It was God's plan," or "God's Love." In the middle portion when they say "I know there's no reason for alarm," they are saying "Maybe I'm overreacting." But then he looks out at the world, and how pathetically detached the American Christian Right is from the suffering they talk of: "But who needs perspective when it comes to pain and harm" He then realizes that the answers that he's been fed from when he was born are false, or at least incomplete, because he still has all these unanswered questions: "Where is the love?/In a careless creation/When there's no above."
