Does God exist and in particular we direct this question to our guest the very Reverend Andy Simpson Thanks a lot Angie. Yeah, my answer ladies and gentlemen is gonna be a predictably simple one of course God exists the proof is all around us, but I want to work in that excuse me A question from the audience if there is a God at their controlling things Why does he allow people doing a good turn to get hurt? That old chestnut. Yeah, we're all sinful in a way, aren't we? But we will all ultimately be rewarded in heaven and I think hang about let's get down to cases I got this opening a tin of cat food No, I don't even like the bloody more But I opened its tin of kanga chunks and then a cut my bloody finger off now why? God really can't be expected to watch over everyone who's opening a tin of cat food I'd like to raise the level of this discussion and talk about St Paul who started out now Oh, is it a man can stab his wife 80 times with a meat cleaver and not even get a crease in his trousers I only can't be bloody finger off trying to save the cat some starvation Oh, other, other, other lazy people sitting on their arses in front of the tummy watching songs of praise Why is he? God gives us a choice doesn't he? I mean a choice to use our gifts wisely or foolish. I say I suppose it's my fault I'm reminded of the parable of the nine virgins Eight of them were wise and use their tin openers diligently But the ninth was a clumsy loud mouth virgin who kept wittering on about it. How about you're making that up? Look there There are six million cats in this country how many tins of kanga chunks would God have to watch over to make sure that Nucks like you didn't cut their fingers. I think the point here is that God can't really be expected to be in two places at once Yes, he can he can he's omnipresent for God's sake look God loves us all Definitely my love maverick Well, amazingly he does it's me who can't stand the same thing I think we might have exhausted this line of questioning and could we have the next question from the audience please It's a mr. Yes mr. Bentos from children. Yes, that's me Why don't they have a key like they do on tins of corn be
