"The Bible says that we should have an answer for why
you believe, to those who ask you. This is a good
example of an answer to one of the most common reasons
sinners give for ignoring God and His goodness.
A man went to a barber shop 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."
"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 no suffering nor pain. I can't think
of loving 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 cause 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 barber shop and
he said to the
barber:
"You know what? Barbers do not
exist."
"How can you say they don't exist?" asked the barber.
"I am a barber
and
here I am."
"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."
If you like it, send it to other people, like I
did. If
you think God
does
not exist, don't do it.
Simple!
