Does God Exist? (a cute parable)

A man went to Barber’s shop 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 tourched on the subject of God, the Barber said: “l don’t believe that God exist”

“Why do you say that?” asked the customer.

“Well, you just have to go out in the street to realise that God doestn’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.

Barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left barber’s shop, he saw a man on the street with long stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard, he looked dirty and unkept. The customer turned back and entered the barber’s shop again and he said to the Barber, “You know what? Barbers don’t exist.”

“How can you say that?” asked the Barber. “I am here, and l am a barber. And l 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 beard, like that man outside.”

“Ah, but barbers DO exist. That is what happens when people do not come to me.”

“Exactly” affirmed the customer. “That’s the point! God DOES exist! That is why there is so much pain and suffering in the world. That is what happens when people do not go to Him and don’t look to Him for help.”
