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.
Theists also maintain that the presence of evil (or evil beings like Satan) is compatible with free will.....
Of course it is. What’s not compatible with free will is the Abrahamic god.
