DOES GOD EXIST?

DOES GOD EXIST?

A man went to a barbers shop to have his hair and beard cut as always. He started to have a good

conversation with the barber who attended to him. They talked about so many things on various subjects. Suddenly they touched the subject of GOD. The barber said;

                “Look man, I don’t believe that GOD exists as you say.”

                “Why do you say that?” asked the client

“Well,” answered the barber “It’s so easy; you just have to go out in the street to realize that GOD does exist. Oh! Tell me, if GOD does exist, would there be so much sick people? Would there be abandoned children, would there be suffering and pain, pestilence, sudden and premature death, kidnapping and killings of the innocent. I can’t think of a God who permits all of these things.”

The client stopped for a moment, thinking, but he didn’t want to respond so as to prevent an argument.

The barber finished his job and the client went out of the shop. Just after he left the  barbers shop, he saw a man in the street with long hair and beard (It seemed that it’s been long the man had a cut. He looked so untidy). Then, the client once again entered the barbers shop and said to the barber;

                                “Do know what? Barbers do not exist.”

“How come they don’t exist?” asked the barber “ I am here, and I am a barber. Moreover I just cut your hair.”

“No!” the client exclaimed “They don’t exist, because if they did, there would be no people with long hair and beard like that man who walks on the street” he said pointing to the untidy man with long beard and bushy hair.

“Ah, barbers do exist, what happens is that people do not come to us” the barber tried to answer

“Exactly!” affirmed the client “That’s the point. God does exist, what happens is that people don’t go to HIM and do not look for HIM. That’s why there is so much pain and suffering in the world.
