One day a man goes to a barber n they starts to chat abt daily routines.Suddenly topic comes to God n His existence. Barber says; look man i dont believe in God like u n also His existence. Then man asks y does he thinks like that n barber says that this is so simple to explain; u just have to look outside. Look if God exists would there be so troubled,hungry or homeless desperate ppl exist? If God exists i dont think that he would let this happen. Then the man had his hair cut n goes outside. When he was walkin he saw a man with very long beard n hair. He returns to barber n says; u know wat i think there is nothin existin like barbers. The barber was surprised n didnt understand anythn. The barber said he was there n he was a barber. Then the man showed the other man walkin on the street n said; if barbers exist that man wud never be like that! Barber says; what cn i do if he doesnt come to me? it isnt my fault! N the man affirmed him that it was the important point! God exists but if someone doesnt go to God then what wud He do?? Thats the reason of those desperate ppl's existence.

An atheists is someone who does not want to get wet and proclaims confidently that man cannot swim. Psalm 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.'

Give me a break! I can't believe this even make sense to you.
Let's put it this way.
This man with long beard could have easily gone to the barber and pay the barber to get his beard trim if he wanted to, and it will get trim.
But if we humans wanted to ask God for help, he will not help us anyway cuz he can't interfer with free will, and worst thing is, we will probably be talking to air and not another physical person, we will not get any response and can only try to guess what the answer is, that's a huge difference.
And by the way, I believe interfering with natural disasters like volcanic eruption is not going against free-will, if there was a God, why doesn't he do that? All the "ACT of God", what is up with all that? Why doesn't he do something? I bet millions of Christian were praying to him for help and he did nothing, tell me again how is it possible that he exist?

Not much. You're basically saying that all the suffering in the world is the fault of the people suffering. That's not only wrong, but it is really a lousy outlook on life.
It also doesn't explain the suffering of little children with cancer. Those kids can't even comprehend the concept of "god", because they haven't developed abstract thinking yet.
Of course, you don't even need any children to prove the counterpoint. If I wanted to go to any god with my problems, I can't because he's just not around. You would think that a god would do a better job of convincing people he exists if he really was that caring about his creation. The fact is, either gods don't exist or they are apathetic.

But does the Barber love that man?
You're comparing something that is physically provable to something that was made up to scare people into doing the right thing. A bit of a difference ;)
Im also sure many of them are devout Christians. That man is not a devout Barber-Goer.

That's actually a story I hadn't heard before. It was a little hard to get through as you've left certain letters out of certain words and garbled the grammar and syntax, but all in all, very cute story. Totally off-base and not proof of a damned thing, but cute just the same.

actual now my well-liked band is iron and wine. The music completely suits my sunday morning temper. i will't permit you already know what the worst band is using the fact there are maximum of god poor ones. i will tolerate eco-friendly day's older tunes, however the on the hot stuff they simply attempt too perplexing to be political and attraction to 13 12 months previous ladies. And, sorry, yet billie joe isn't an extremely stable guitar participant.

Cute story but what about the millions of innocent children who pray to god for relief from their miseries every day. Sorry no loving god would let a child be tortured and raped.

you are not making any sense with the point you are trying to make. you are first off talking about atheists who believe in no god because they don't see him. the people in your story are walking around plain as day. there are also plenty of barbers to go around. the man can choose to go to a barber at anytime, that can be proven. to an theist god cannot be accessed at anytime because he can't be seen, heard, felt, or touched. nice try.

Well I doubt that a peson becomes an atheist just because they see poor, hungry people. Most do it through thinking freely using reason, intelligence and rationality in a very broad sense.

Some people were put on this earth to deny. That was at least one of their purposes for their entire life, either to get attention or just plain stubborness that God gave them from the getgo. So don't be too concerned about em. If you take the first commandment and turn it around to that Whatever you love is your God....and then you take the virtue of the so called athiest and what he/she pays attention to in life ...or worships or adores....then you find an athiest who has a culmination of a supreme God that he/she worships. They just don't realize they are doing it cause nobody pointed it out to them like that before.
