God Doesn't Exist

Contributed by Divya Venkataraman

A man went to a barbershop 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 neither 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 barbershop and he said to the barber:

You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How come they don't exist?" - asked the barber. "Well I am here and I am a

barber."

"No!" - 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."

heh. yeah, it's nice but it would be cool if we can somehow change the barber part, like instead of a barber, talk about some grocer or doctor. lol. Just so we can distribute it among our youth. :D
