[StBernard] Does God Exist?

[Westley Annis]

One of the best explanations on the nature of God that I have ever seen. 
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? 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! That's what happens when people do not come to
me.' 

'Exactly!' affirmed the customer. 'That's the point! God, too, DOES exist!
That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for
help.  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! 
BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS!  

I really liked this, I hope you share it.
