A BEAUTIFUL ANALOGY!



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 a 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

unkempt.

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! " answered the barber. " 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."



If you think God exists, forward this on to other people---If you



think God does not exist, just delete it!

God Bless You
