Does God Exist?!

A man went to a barber shop 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 God who would allow all 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 as he left the barber shop he saw a man in the street with long,
string, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkept. 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, 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 long dirty
hair and untrimmed beards like that man outside." "Ah, but barbers do
exists! What happens is people don't come to me."
"Exactly," affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, does exist!
What happens is people do not go to Him or look for Him. That's why there's
so much pain and suffering in the world."
