Theists cannot grasp the reality that unfortunately bad happens. It isn't that good cant or doesn't happen. Good most certainly does happen. But they cant grasp that there is no divine power or ground villain involved.
I've also put it like this.
I would not hire this God to manage a bicycle factory. The bikes would end up with squid for spokes and the workers would murder each other over the competing assembly manuals.
It’s EXACTLY the point. Theists worship a God who manifestly doesn’t love everyone, and they’re perfectly ok with it. The god they believe in resembles nothing so much as an abusive parent who would cheerfully hire a babysitter who had a 33% chance of killing their kids.

Boy are you nit picky.
Of course God doesn't love everyone, because it is a fantasy created by humans to justify tribalism.
Evolution produces social activity, not just in humans as you know. So of course say fire ants will defend each other, but kill other insects. Female lions are notorious for defending cubs. But male lions are also notorious for killing rival cubs.
SO yea, I agree, God is the dick who would play the crap shoot, just so he can claim glory when those he neglected and abused looked for help.
The Christian God loves Christians, The Muslim God loves Muslims, The Jewish God loves Jews. At best, all of them claim they are willing to live in peace, but funny how all of them make that dependent on a social pecking order.
