The problem of evil is typically relegated to cosmic and philosophical concerns, and the centuries of continually progressing debates do not speak well for any particular theodicies that have been presented so far.

Consequently, events that don't fit within the structure of that view can feel threatening to one's sense of stability, and should be ignored if possible.
