The theistic counter argument to people suffering under the guidance of a god who should prevent suffering is that god is above reproach of human understanding.
That is merely an apologetic stance.
A god who can prevent suffering yet refuses to do so is not a god worth worship by any sane standard.
The problem of god, of course, begins with the fact that god cannot be proven to exist.
Therefore, because theists rely merely upon faith they must also rely upon further and ever consistently elaborate Apologetic concepts to fill in the gaps of knowledge that simply are not provided in their supposedly holy book.
A reasonable mind can see what is happening with religion, and thus these people become atheists.
Unreasonable minds continue to cling to their faith for whatever reason they have decided to provide themselves.
