Admin	God Exists!! Posted : 10 Apr, 2010 10:08 PM 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.' Post Reply

View Profile History	God Exists!! Posted : 11 Apr, 2010 07:46 AM Thanks, Great way of proving a point! Evil is simply the "Absence of God". The degree that which God is or is not involved...determines how "evil" something is. Our "Free Will" allows us to "step into" harms way and suffer for it. Also Free Will allows Nature to be random and harmful. God also will Chastize us from time to time...in order to Teach us. It all is for God's Purpose and good does come out of tragedy. Post Reply

Agnos View Profile History	God Exists!! Posted : 12 Apr, 2010 06:09 PM Oh!!! that was and excellent way to show that God IS!!! I remember another similar story that I heard: There were two men discussing why the humanity should be punished for this sins if they are born in imperfection. It was about the point that human being is a sinner by nature and deserves death for his sins. One of the man said to the other: - You will not convince me, how can you believe in a God that knowing that the creature he made is imperfect an unable to act with righteousness, and then punishes him because of his sins... He is responsible for His creation. - So, what do you think He should do? - Well, I think He is the one who should pay for the sins of his creation... - You are so right...!!! THAT IS WHAT HE DID... JESUS CAME TO PAY FOR OUR SINS!!! Praise the Lord for His Mercy!!!! Post Reply
