God Exist?

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."

The Best Salesman on the Year!

An Indian moves to Montreal and goes to
a big department store looking for a job.

The manager asks, "Do you have any sales
experience? "

The Indian says, "Yeah, I was a salesman
back home".

Well, the manager liked the young man,
so he gave him the job. "You start
tomorrow. I'll come down after we close
and see how you did, but let me give you
a bit of advice. If a customer comes
looking, say, for toothpaste, you might
suggest for him
a toothbrush, or shaving cream etc. You
get the idea?"

"Of course," the young man said. His
first day on the job was rough but he
got through it.

After the store was locked up, the
manager came down. "How many sales did
you make today?

The Indian says, "One"

The manager groans, "Just one? Our sales
people average 20 or 30 sales/day.

Ho w much was the sale for?"

The Indian says, "$101, 237.64."

The manager exclaims, "What?
$101,237.6 4? What did you sell him?"

The Indian replied, "First I sold him a
small fish hook. Then I sold him a
medium fishhook. Then I sold him a
larger fishhook. Then I sold him a new
fishing rod. Then I asked him where he
was going fishing, and he said down at
the coast, so I told him he was going to
need a boat, so we went down to the boat
department, and I sold him that twin
engine Chris Craft. Then he said he
didn't think his Honda Civic would pull
it, so I took him down to the automotive
depart ment and sold him that 4X4 Pajero."

The manager says "You mean a guy came in
here to buy a fish hook and you sold him
a boat and truck?!"

The Indian says, "No, no, no, he came in
here to buy a box of Kotex for his wife
and I said, "Well, since your weekend's
already screwed up you might as well go
fishing!!"

The manager fainted... +________+|||
