become miracle maker


from samuel mulia

Let check this out, From kompas May 18, 2008. Kilas parodi Samuel Mulia
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 thing and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said; "I don’t believe that God exist"
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer
"Well, you just have to go out in street to realized that God doesn’t exist. Tell me, if God existed, would there so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering no 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 untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barbershop again and he said to the barber, "You know what? Barbers do not exist"
"How you can say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you"
"No" the customer exclaimed, "Barber don’t exist because the man outside"
"Ah, but barber do exist! That’s what happen when people do not came 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"
