This was sent to me in a email and thought it was pretty good.



A GOOD EXPLANATION...

This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and
suffering that I have seen. It's an explanation other people will
understand.

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 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 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! 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 think God exists, send this to other people---I f you
think God does not exist, delete it!

BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING

Hey Kay,

I love this explanation! Thanks so much for posting it here. I pray the Holy Spirit will bring this to our remembrance the next time some one says there's no God, in Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Love ya,
Joan
