Cute & Short Story That I Think You All Should
Read....

The Barber Who Believed That God Doesnt Exist:

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
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 no 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
barber shop and

he said to the barber: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."
