Does god exist?

The other day, I ran into a discussion over the existence of god. The
undertone of the discussion was that god is not visible and hence one can't believe upon something which is not felt by the human senses. While the discussion
was on, i recalled one nice piece of stroy, which I read somewhere.

One day, a man enters the barber's shop and asks for a hair cut. While,
the barber is on his job, he starts talking about miseries in the
world. The barber further says that there is no god in this world. If he
is there, why he can't just come and rescue people? The customer doesn't
say a word. After the job is done, the customer pays the barber and walks
out of the salon only to return back immediately. The customer, now back
in the salon shouts out loudly," Hey, there is no barber in this world!"

To this, the barber gets stunned and says,"What are you talking? You
just had a hair cut from me. How can you say that there is no barber in
the world?"

The customer takes the barber out on the street and shows him a beggar
with long dirty hair and whiskers. To this, the barber says,"Oh! that
beggar. Look, now I can cut his hair only if he comes to me. How am I
supposed to serve people who don't approach me?"

The customer says,"That is true even with god. He can serve only those
who approach him!!"
