Does God exist?

上個禮拜，學校有一個活動。
也不是很大，
就在我們宿舍區裡的一個交誼廳。
題目是 Does God exist?

那天我經過，他們正在進行討論
其實我不想去參加
因為我想我已經找到答案了
而且我也不想用聖經的觀點去參加辯論...
贏了好想也沒什麼他們也不會信
輸了感覺丟上帝的臉，
我也不會不信。

這個禮拜接我去安妮教會小組的弟兄
說他曾經去修過這種題目的課
老師上了一個學期
讓大家討論到底有神沒有神
用各種哲學邏輯....

這是我今天收到另一位同學
寄給我的信。
沒想到竟然是這個標題！
看到一半我自己就在想
要是我會怎樣跟那個barber說
我的答案
不如這個客人的有智慧!!
如果有人問你
你會怎麼回答呢？

如果你曾經問過你自己
你有答案嗎？
please take a look now.


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 a 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! "
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."
