Are you saying that the claims that theists explain away as being a mystery actually have no explanation?
There's a big difference between believing that certain things should have an explanation and that all things do have an explanation.
And this ignores the fact that theists accept certain things as brute facts only halfway. Theists want to claim that God's nature is just a brute fact and therefore his morality is also a brute fact. But one of the characteristics of a brute fact is that it is arbitrary. If God's morality is arbitrary, then it isn't moral. But they won't have any of that. When it comes to needing an explanation, they want it to be a brute fact. When it comes to being arbitrary, they want to say something else.
