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.'

 |
 |
That's
the point! God DOES exist!
