THE BARBER..... ( Biblical experience )

[Queen Esther]

THE BARBER......

A Witness went to a barbershop to trim his hair. As is customary in these cases he made a pleasant conversation with the person who attended him.
They talked about many things and touched many subjects. Suddenly they touched on the subject of God. The barber said:

"Look, gentleman, I do not think God exists, as you say."
"But why do you say that?" Asks the brother.
"If God existed, there would be no suffering, not so much pain," he said, "if God existed, there would be no suffering. For humanity.I can not think that a God who exists allows all these things. "

The brother thought for a moment, but did not want to respond to avoid an argument and in view of which the subject was deep to explain. The barber finished his work and the brother left the business.

I walked a few steps and saw in the street a man with a beard and long hair; Apparently it had been a long time since he cut it and looked very disheveled. Then he went back to the barbershop and said to the barber,

"You know, barbers do not exist."
"How come they do not exist? If I am here, I am a barber."
- "Do not!" Said the client, "They do not exist, because if they existed there would not be people with a beard and hair as long as this man has."
- "Ah, the barbers if they exist, what happens is that these people do not come to me".
"Exactly!" Said the client, "That's the point. Jehovah God does exist, what happens is that people do not go to him and do not seek him, that's why there is pain and suffering."
