Now, just to let you know, I'm Atheist and I find this explantation a little bit lacking...but here we go:
"This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering
that I have seen. It's an explanation people will understand :

A lady went to a beauty shop to have her hair cut and her nails painted
and
trimmed. As the lady 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 beautician said :
"I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked Sheryl who has MS.

"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."
Then Sheryl thought for a moment, but didn't respond because she didn't
want to start an argument. The beautician just finished her job and the
customer left the shop. Just after she left the beauty shop, she saw a
woman in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and not groomed at all.
She looked dirty and unkempt.

Then Sheryl turned back and entered the beauty shop again and she said to
the beautician: "You know what? Beauticians do not exist."

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised beautician. "I am here, and I
am a beautician, and I just worked on you!"

"No!" Sheryl exclaimed. "Beauticians don't exist because if they did,
there
would be no people with dirty long hair and be very unkempt, like that
woman outside."

"Ah, but beauticians DO exist! What happens is people do not come to me."

"Exactly!" affirmed Sheryl. "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."

i see so many people being really nasty and mean to you, it makes me mad for you. so if you are the ones being attacked, you ever wish for them to get what they deserve? like run over by a train,or be knocked off of their pedestal, what about wishing some of them to go to hell. be honest

Not anything to do with hell.
For a tatoo.
The delt, the shoulder blade or ankle.
I ask you guys because it isn't a sin to you.

Given that the worlds various bibles/religions are, and have been used since their inception, to fuel hate, war, elevate people to (perceived) power...control masses ( pun intended ) of people...insight fear and prejudice... wouldn't it make sense that the devil himself is behind world religion?... how else would you get otherwise good hearted people to be so evil to one another while making them feel good about it?..

Is anyone going on vacation this Labor day weekend? If so where? I may be going to Nags Head, or stay home to avoid the traffic.

These kinds of people are just plain weird. They can't stay in the sun or they burn (like Dracula). They also age much slower and can appear much longer than they really are (like Dracula). The greeneyed ones can even defy physics and fly throughout the air and are the source of most succubus attacks on sleeping men. These Irish and Scottish people just need to know when to stop messing with us humans!

Do they really believe this (in which case their extreme lack of knowledge concerning the theory is so high that they should actually study the theory before ignorantly stating it is blasphemous and false),

or are they purposefully trying to deceive the gullable?

I know catholics can drink, but is it okay for them also to get drunk according to their beliefs? And if so, could someone explain the rational behind why? My friend is catholic and we were having this discussion. To me, the bible clearly states drinking is okay, but to over consume is wrong. But maybe I am missing something. Thanks!

Were you disillusioned by this prediction? If so, it was man. not God, who mislead you! Deuteronomy 18:22 says "When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."

for them?
If you say God isn't responsible for the evil in this world because we have free will, then it should work both ways. Why would you think that blessings come from God instead of as a result of hard work?

There had been several customers before me and their hair was still on the floor around the chair. I had to walk over a lot of hair to sit in the seat. When I asked, the person did sweep the floor but then I felt guilty. Is this a common thing that hairdressers don't clean the floors after customers today?

Is it a sin for Christian women to masturbate and use sexual toys? No cheating or anything like that. No thoughts of another man. Just plan masturbation, is it a sin?
