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 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? Barbersdo 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."
