God Does Exist >> >> >>A man went to a barber shop to have his hair and his beard cut as >>always. He started to have a good conversation with the barber who >>attended him. >> >>They talked about so many things and various subjects. >> >>Suddenly, they touched the subject of God. >> >>The barber said: "Look man, I don't believe that God existsas you >>say so." >> >>Why do you say that?" - asked the client. >> >>Well, it's so easy, you just have to go out in the street to >>realize that God does not exist. Oh, tell me, if God existed, would >>there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If >>God existed, there would be no suffering nor pain. 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 barber >>shop he saw a man in the street with a long hair and beard (it >>seems that it had been a long time since he had his cut and he >>looked so untidy). >> >>Then the client again entered the barber shop and he said to the >>barber: know what? Barbers do not exist." >> >>"How come they don't exist?"-asked the barber. "Well I am here and >>I am a barber." >> >>"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 in the street." >> >>"Ah, barbers do exist, what happens is that people do not come to >>me." >> >>"Exactly!"- affirmed the client. "That's the point GOD 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." |
