barbers exist... and so does God
2 min read
A man 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. 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 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 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. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

Ode to the Best Women =P
1 min read
Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at
the top of the
tree.
Most men don't want to reach for the good ones
because they are
afraid
of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just
take the rotten
apples
from the ground that aren't as good, but
easy....... The apples
at
the top think something is wrong with them, when in
reality, they
are
amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to
come along, the
one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of
the tree.
Share
this with other women who are good apples, even
those who have
already been picked!
p.s. yes robby, i made that title up mimicking the link in ur profile
lol
