There once was a man who lived near a large river. He heard a radio report that the river was going to rush up and flood the town., and that all the residents should evacuate their homes. But the man said to himself, "I'm religious. I pray. God loves me. God will save me."
The waters rose up, and the man was forced to move to his roof to escape the water. A guy in a row boat came along and he shouted, "Hey you! The town is flooding. Let me take you to safety." But the man shouted back, "I'm religious. I pray. God loves me. God will save me."
The waters continued to rise, and the man was forced to climb up a nearby tree. A helicopter stopped overhead and a guy with a megaphone shouted, "Hey you, you down there! The town is flooding. Let me drop this ladder and I’ll take you to safety." But the man shouted back that he was religious, that he prayed, that God loved him and that God will take him to safety.
Well… the man drowned. And standing at the gates of St. Peter, he demanded an audience with God. "Lord," he said, "I'm a religious man, I pray. I thought you loved me. Why did this happen?" God said, "I sent you a radio report, a guy in a rowboat, even a helicopter! What the hell are you doing here?"
