BARBER SHOP WISDOM

> > The Bible says to have an answer for why you believe, to

> > 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

> >
> > "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

> > 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! 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, send this to other people---
> > If you think God does not exist, delete it!
