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 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 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."



"Stop telling God how big your storm is. Instead, tell
the storm how big your God is!"
