email story: God doesn't exist
When did you last go to your barber/hairdresser?

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair and his beard cut as always.
He started to have a good conversation with the barber who attended to him.
They talked about many things and various subjects. Suddenly, they touched
on 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 neither suffering nor pain. I can't think of a God who
permits all of these things."

The client stopped for 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 then he saw a man in the street with 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 barbershop and he said to the barber "You
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."
