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 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 loving a God who would allow all of 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 after he left the
barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an
untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and un-kept.
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, 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, like that man
outside."
"Ah,
but barbers DO exist! 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."
