God Exist
The Bible says to have an
answer for why you believe, to those who ask
you.This is a good example of an answer to one of the most common reasons
people give for ignoring God and His goodness.
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 p 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."
