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 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
barber shop, he saw a
man in the street with
long, stringy, dirty hair
and an untrimmed
beard.
He looked dirty and
unkempt.
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.
So, do you believe that
God Exist?
