BEST EXPLANATION EVER!
>
> 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 & BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS !!!!!!!
