I do not believe in God

Archived, here, since its just so beautiful, copied from the author's discussion at orkut here, his profile is here..
I went to a barbershop to have his hair cut .

As the barber began to work, I began to have a good conversation.
We talked about so many things and various subjects. When we
eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:

"I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" I asked .

Barber :

"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."

I thought for a moment, but didn't respond because I
didn't want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and I left the shop.

Just after I left the barbershop, I saw a man in the street with
long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and
unkempt.

I turned back and entered the barber shop again and 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!" I 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!" I affirmed . "That's the point! God, too, DOES
exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look
to Him for help. That's! why there's so much pain and suffering in the
world."


The meaning to look to GOD is not to go to the temple or just rituals. Surrender yourself to GOD, kill your ego completely.
God is within U !
