Megan Rapinoe, a left-wing activist and soccer player, made a tongue-in-cheek argument that the unfairness she experienced in her final soccer match is proof that God does not exist. While Rapinoe's comment may resonate with some atheists, the problem of suffering has been a topic of philosophical and theological debate for centuries.

A deeper understanding of the theological perspective on suffering reveals that it is the reaction to suffering that holds moral significance.
