God doesn't exist?
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to talk.
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 loving a 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 very dirty and un-kept.
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 hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
The barber said: "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 God and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world.
People view themselves as small, separate beings, alone in a finite world which is full of sufferings, illness and death.
They do not realize that they are ONE with God.... That they cannot be seperated from LIFE and that ALL the help they need and all the support they desire, IS AVAILABLE to them....
That all they need to do is to believe that this is a world of IDEAS and to come to the source,... To LIFE...to God.. and to ask for help.....
Help in changing their own mind's about WHO they truly are and help in recognizing their true Nature and their true powers."
