A pastor and a soap maker went for a walk together. The soap maker
said, "what good is religion? Look at all the trouble and misery of the
world! Still there, even after years--thousands of years--of teaching
about goodness and truth and peace. Still there, after all the prayers
and sermons and teachings. If religion is good and true, why should this
be?"
The pastor said nothing. They continued walking until he noticed a
child playing in the gutter.
Then the pastor said, "Look at that child. You say that soap makes
people clean, but see the dirt on that youngster. Of what good is soap?
With all the soap in the world, over all these years, the child is still
filthy. I wonder how effective soap is, after all!"
The soap maker protested. "But, Pastor, soap cannot do any good unless
it is used!"
"Exactly!" replied the pastor.
