Subject: [english_learners ] Does God exist?
From: [email protected]
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut
and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they started a good
conversation.
They talked about so many things and various
subjects. When they eventually touched n 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 sufferings nor pain. I can't imagine loving a God who
would allow all 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 un-kept.
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! 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 sufferings in
the
world."

CAN EXPECT"
