A man went to a barbershop to have hishair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barberbegan to work, they began to have a goodconversation.
They talked about so many things and varioussubjects. When they eventually touched on thesubject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe thatGod exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer."Well, you just have to go out in the street torealize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, ifGod exists, would there be so many sickpeople? Would there be abandoned children? If Godexisted, there would be neither suffering nor pain. Ican't imagine a loving God who would allow all ofthese things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn'trespond because he didn't want to start anargument.
The barber finished his job and the customer leftthe shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he sawa man in the street with long, stringy, dirtyhair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty andunkempt.
The customer turned back and entered the barbershop again and he said to the barber: "Youknow what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprisedbarber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I justworked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbersdon't exist because if they did, there would be nopeople with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards,like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! " answered thebarber. "What happens, is, people do not cometo me."
"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That'sthe 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 inthe world."
