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 eventuallytouched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that Godexists.""Why do you say that?" asked the customer."Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn'texist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Wouldthere 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 ofthese things."The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn'twant 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, dirtyhair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said tothe 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, likethat 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."

Yes, but God, unlike the barber, is supposedly all-powerful and all-good. Therefore, the people shouldn't have to come to him and He should want to go to them. Moreover, he shouldn't murder millions of innocent people (including babies) in floods and earthquakes.
How is it that you can say that God does not go to ppl are you that naive to actually believe that? Question, do you know of God, have you heard of Him do know of the sacrifice He has given to the world, do you not see nor hear His messengers spreading the gospel of His son, so how is it that you can say He does not go to people, each and every one of us has heard of the gospel, and made Himself clearly known. Romans 1:20 - For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. And moreover on your second question i will give you a link that i believe will answer your question, you must know that God does not judge people in the same manner as we judge because we might believe something to be right when in God's eyes is an abomination, which He cannot stand or in short sin, but here is the link i hope this helps you understand alittle more I pray that the holy spirit works in your life that you may come back to God, through salvation through His son Jesus (John 3:16)this is the link i talked about earlier: http://raptureready.com/faq/faq42.html
