曾经有一个这样的故事，有一个人在理发店剪头发，然后就和理发师聊开了。
理发师：你相信有上帝吗？
顾客：我相信啊！
理发师：我就不相信了，如果世界真的有神的话，那为什么这个世界还有这么多人受苦？
顾客一时答不上来，所以也沉默了。 后来顾客理发完后，就走了出去，在路上他看到一个乞丐的头发很乱 ，很长，于是，他决定倒回头找理发师。
顾客：你相信这个世界上有理发师吗？
理发师：什么？我不就是吗？
顾客：我想世界上应该没有理发师。
理发师：(怒)我不就站在你的面前了吗？你为什么这么说？
顾客：如果世界真的有理发师，那外面那些乞丐就不会有这么长这么乱的头发了！
理发师：他们头发长又乱，那是因为他没有来找我！怎么能说我不村在呢？
顾客：你说到了重点。其实，神一直给我们选择的权利，不是神遗弃那些受苦的人，而是他们没有寻找神。

A sharing from facebook
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and…..
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes..
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From….God…
Prof: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son…Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn’t exist.
What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture the after becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat..
But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it .
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright
light, flashing light…..But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can’t even explain a thought.. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is
not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor.Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Prof: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir… The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.
I believe you have enjoyed the conversation…and if so…you’ll probably want your friends/colleagues to enjoy the same…won’t you?….this is a true story, and the
student was none other than …….

《最大的乐事》作者：魏悌香
主题经文：
「你使我心里快乐，胜过那丰收五谷新酒的人。」诗篇四篇七节
小故事：
有一家英国报纸，以「世界上最大的乐事是什麽？」为题，作有奖徵答。
结果获奖的四个答案如下：
（一）当一位艺术家，完成了一件作品，望着作品吹口哨的时候。
（二）小孩在海滩上用沙筑堡垒。
（三）母亲忙碌了一天，到了晚上替自己的婴孩洗个澡。
（四）医生完成一件又危险又艰难的手术，终於救活了一条命。
默想：
上面四个答案中，没有百万富翁，也没有总统帝王，只是一些平凡的人，所做的一些平凡的事。但是这些在我们环境周遭，看似理所当然的事，却可以成为快乐的泉源，你能在其中自得其乐吗？
还有一个最大的快乐，就是因认识神而有的喜乐，而这份喜乐才是人一生中最大的祝福。
