Does God exist?

A man went to a barber shop 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 barber shop, 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.
