A man went to a barber shop to have his hair
and his beard cut as always.
He began to have a good conversation
with the barber who attended him.
They talked about so many things
and various subjects.
Suddenly, they touched on
the subject of God.
The barber said:
"Look man, I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
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 exists,
would there be
so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children?
If God exists,
there would be no suffering nor pain.
I can't think of loving a God
who permits all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment,
but he didn't respond because
he did not want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job
and the customer left the shop.
Just after he left the barber shop,
he saw a man in the street
with long hair and a beard.
It was very long,
and a long time
since he had his hair cut.
He looked dirty and unkempt.
The customer entered the barber shop
again and he said to the barber:
"You know what?
Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say they don't exist?"
asked the surprised barber.
" I am here and I am a barber.
Why I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed.
"Barbers don't exist,
because if they did
there would be no people
with long hair and beard
like that man who is outside."
"Ah, barbers do exist, what happens
is that people do not come to me."
"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer.
"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."
If you think God exists, send this
to other people---
If you think God does not exist, delete it!
