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 exists as 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." "Noo!" 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."
