A story which might interest you... Feb 01, 2006
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 in God." 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
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 theshop. 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! "Answered the barber." What happens,
is, people do not come to me. "Exactly!"- affirmed the customer.
"That's the 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

retarded arugment and logic in this story.

its basically saying that you get sick/poor/abandoned because you are not seeking god which is false argument because how many rich/healthy/loved athiest/agnostic people do you know ? and how many poor/sick/abonded religious people do you know ?


i have seen much better stories .. this one for sure sucks

I never said that! I said I'm agnostic, which means I sit on the fence until someone can prove either way whether god exists or not.

I'm more of a spiritual person, than a religious one. You can certainly believe in god and not belong to any religion.

Nice contradictions...

You can beleive in God but at the same time you sit on the fence until someone proves it to you... Get a clue!!!

It's a saying Liban - wow take a chill pill!

The way I look at it, religion is a pain and only causes problems, look at what's going on now.

I'm not getting into this argument, I'm entitled to believe what ever I want or not as the case maybe, just as you all are.

You've twisted what I said totally.
