I think they just need justification for their belief. When there is a fact which seems to conflict with their faith (ie. the presence of evil), they pick and choose ideas and beliefs so they can continue believing. Their faith is so precious to them that they can't bear to face the fact that there is evil and god isn't doing anything about it. It's foolish and ignorant. The least they could do is face up to it and figure out a proper argument for why there is evil in the world.
