Good Morning Everyone:

 

Good story and moral to it.

 

I Don't Believe God Exists

 

It started simply enough. "I don't believe God exists" Mike the barber

said in a matter of fact way. Bill 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, telling stories as usual. They talked about

politics and the elections, the state of the economy, their families and kids.

 

When they eventually touched on the subject of God, Mike said: 'I don't

believe that God exists.'

 

"Why do you say that?" asked Bill.

 

"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't

exist. Tell me Bill, 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."

 

Bill thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want

to start an argument. Mike finished his barbering job and Bill 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.

 

Bill turned back and entered the barbershop again and he said to Mike,

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!" Bill 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!' Bill affirmed.

 

"That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! And that's what happens 

when people do not come to God too."

 

*****

May God Bless and keep you and yours!!!

 

Larry
