Why God Allow Pain
A Friend of Mine send me this message some times ago, it may answer your doubt.
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 & 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, ignore it!
BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS !
Sorry but i dont agree with this its a poor reason for all that is wrong in the world if that was true every one that goes to church would not get ill and well it makes no difference.

I can comment on this as this friend of mine and I are both Free thinking, but one thing I am sure is faith is what you strongly believe and a lot of suffering is self inflicted. You just need to find the root cause of it.
One thing’s for sure, if we set out each day seeking to bless others, we’ll end up being happier people.

I totally agreed with you on this. Yes when we bless others, we are happier people.
