An answer to the question, where is God in this merciless society?

"A man went to a barber shop 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
barber shop, 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.
So, do you believe that God Exists?
