>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."
>>
>>If you think God exists, send this to other people---
>>If you think God does not exist, delete it!
>>
>>BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS !!!!
