Does God Exist?

>A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As

>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 into 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 barbershop, 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 your hair!"
>
>"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."
>
>BE BLESSED AND BE A BLESSING !!!!
