WHY God Allows Pain
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! What happens is that people do not come to me." "Exactly!"- affirmed the
customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens is that 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." BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING.
