Does God Exist?

Does God Exist Story

This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen. It's an explanation other people will understand.




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 un-kept.

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! 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."

General Telephone System Inc.

Today, January 29, 2008 i've experience my worst internet connection from General Telephone System Inc. I was subscribed to DSL 384 kbps. Paying 1850 php. every month.

===========

Today my speed is = 1.90 kb/s

Approx. 27 hours & 10 minutes to download 95.7 mb.

And paying 1850 Php every month

===========

Lately my download speed is 35kbps, that is fine for me. but last week GTSi informed me that they are going to UPGRADE Their SERVER for better internet Connection and service. SERVER needs to be OFFLINE to make those UPGRADE.

At first i was glad and and excited for that UPGRADE. They started to OFFLINE about 12:00 noon and resume around 5:00 pm.

But when they resume internet service and start their operation again i noticed that there is something wrong! . . . I think that is not upgrade. . . . they only worsen their connection.

I called them in the next day at early in the morning and ask why my connection is as slow as 12kbps. Lately it is 35kbps. they say there is no problem with the server and its operate normally. i thought that maybe the problem is in my computer, maybe i need to reformet my PC.

OK i reformat my PC and installed my programs again and start checking the true SPEED of GTSi Internet Connection. but i am not mistaken. it is their true NEW SPEED. I'm tired of complaining

with this problem co'z they always replied my the same old answer.

As of now i was stock with this Internet Connection from GTSi beco'z in our place i have no choice other than GTSi for internet service. And i was paying 1850 php / 384 kbps every month for this INTERNET SERVICE.

Today my speed is = 1.90 kb/s

Approx. 27 hours & 10 minutes to download 95.7 mb.

Cockfight (Sabong)

Cockfighting is a national pastime in the Philippines and is called sabong in Tagalog. It is mentioned by José Rizal in his novel Noli Me Tangere. Cockfights are usually held every day of the week including holidays, especially in the provinces. Curved blades usually made from high quality steel that extend to as long as three inches are attached to one or both of a rooster's legs.

But have you heard that Cockfight has INVITATION CARD too? YES, today a customer visit me and ask me to make INVITATION CARD for cockfight, Huh. At first i wonder how can i make such invitation card, he he he it is invitation card for a Rooster instead! . . .

And finally we finished the invitation card, a simple invitation card with envelop. It is a one piece design but folded. First picture is the front of the invitation and when you open that, you will see the DETAILS of the Invitation which is at the second picture . . .

It looks like this . . .

I hide the info in this post, to protect the place and the people behind this . . . .
