"Best Explanation"


This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering
>> that I have seen. It's an explanation people will understand.
>>
>>
>> A man went to a barber shop 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 a 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 un-kept.
>>
>> 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!
>>
>> What happens is, people
>>
>> do not come to me."
>>
>> "Exactly!"-
>>
>> affirmed the customer.
>>
>> "That's the point!
>>
>> God, too, DOES exist!
>>
>> What happens, is, people
>>
>> don't go to Him
>>
>> and do not look for Him.
>>
>> That's why there's so much pain
>>
>> and suffering in the world."
>>
>> If you KNOW God exists,
>>
>> send this to other people---
>>
>> If you think God doesn't exist,
>>
>> then just delete it!
>>
>> Have a great day!
>>
>> BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING!
