Why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen

Post by still.child » May 07, 2009 Views: 948

This is one of the best explanations of why

God allows pain and suffering that I have seen...

A man went to a barbershop to have his

hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to

have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various

subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject

of God, the barber said:
'I don't believe that God exists.'

'Why do you say that?' asked the customer.

'Well, you just have to go out in the street

to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so

many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children?

If God existed, there would be neither

suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine a loving God who would

allow all of these things.'
The customer thought for a moment, but

didn't respond because he didn't want to

start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the

customer left the shop .

Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a

man in the street with long, stringy, dirty

hair and an untrimmed beard.
He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer

turned back and entered the barber shop

again and he said to the barber:
'You know what? Barbers do not exist.'
'How can you say that?' asked the

surprised barber.
'I am here, and I am a barber. And I

just worked on you!'
'No!' the customer exclaimed. 'Barbers

don't exist because
if they did, there would be no people with

dirty long hair and untrimmed beards,

like that man outside.'

'Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what

happens when people do not come to me.'
'Exactly!' affirmed the customer. 'That's

the point! God, too, DOES exist!
That's what happens when people do not

go to Him and don't look to Him for help.
That's why there's so much pain and

suffering in the world.'



BE BLESSED &
