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 !!!!!!!

Dear Mohini, I believe that God does exist, because, a universal power must have existed before all that exists today came into being! But I wonder if you exist anymore or what? Please do drop me a few lines soon!
Thanks, Ivor

Nice post MSL ... Even I believe that god does exit... But thyen why do people say that the person who is good get's never good thing in his/ her life .... He has lot of suffering andf pains in his life ....

In Hindi we say ... Achchey kao kabhi accha nahi miltaa...

God is every where.

waise Megha jaruri nahi hai acho k acha nahi ho.. sayad tume isse positivly lena chaiye . May bhi kuch na milna ka matlab kuch aur acha milne k liye ho...

what u say?

Hello Mohini and Megha, I for one, do believe that and omnipotent, omniscient being is the ultimate reality that exists! It is Man who has been given free will to choose that what is good or evil! So evil exists because of man's free will, but God is all goodness personified!
Thanks,
Ivor

Thank you for sharing.

i want to say only this thing that god exists if u belive yourself and can listen to ur innersoul..acc.to my opinion for me god is a source of energy,a inspiration,a work, a duty.. mean to say you just do your part in this world nd leave the rest on god

i believe , every thing will not be done by God , only thing is you need to do something , so that god can help you...

Agreed! Since God helps those who help themselves!

Existence of God is a mystic thing because everybody want proof but this is the thing of your own realization.

Yes God is there but not in temple as an Idol , almighty is everywhere
