reality, there is no sentient, omnipresent, omnipotent supernatural being, supernatural entity or force....therefore all the inequities and misery of the world will always persist, some will have good things happen to them and some not, some will blame the invisible entity but objective reality wins all the time....no matter how hard some try to get that limbic brain of theirs to work...sorry
And why does bad things happen to good people all the time? When the tectonic plates crash into each other causing human calamity, they don't worry about Karma, good and bad, evil and riteousness. Life's paths are made up of randon circumstances, some predictable and some not. Most religious people will state that god has a 'bigger' plan for them and humans in general, that we can't know the 'big picture.' Most say there can't be good unless we know or experience the depths of evil.
Is it fair to have predation, disease, deformities, child rape, parasites and evil in the world? If the answer is yes, then with god(s) like that, who need them?

Because we are all a part of God- God is not some ruler up there with a pitchfork. Our free will comes from possession of a soul and our need and right to grow spiritually on this planet- in this life. How do you not know that we aren't God's way of learning and growing- he's ever changing and the source of perfect harmony-not a Roman God.

Because I'm looking for safety and dreamin up a god gets me through all the way through my life and even to heaven without having to question a thing. It doesn't matter if it makes sense or not.Thank you sweet baby Jesus for my smokin hot wife...
Oh and about evil, not a problem, but some things do scare me.

If god is really omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and a nice fellow, than he could do anything, grant us free will included.

Do you mean how can perfect God could create imperfect beings capable of evil? Perhaps a perfect being that has always be perfect could not understand imperfection until imperfect beings were created.

If god is, as the Judeo-Christians say, allknowing, all-good, and all powerful, then there is no such thing as free will. And, he is also evil in this case which takes away the all good. Overall, he is a contradiction. He cannot be all three in any sense.

being omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent simply means he knows everything about us. but we were given free will, and he'll watch us screw things up despite it all. if we didn't have free will, do you really think god would allow all those crackwhores and drugdealers and pedophiles go around?

God allows us to make our own decisions, so therfor we have
been given free will, but of course God wants us to ask him
to help us in making the right choices for our lives.
