The man who lived by the river

From "The West Wing", Season 1, Epsisode "Take this Sabbath Day":

There was once a man who lived by the river. He heard a radio report that that the river was gonna flood the town and that the residents should evacuate their homes.

But the man said, "I'm religious, I pray. God loves me, God will save me."

The waters rose up. A guy in a rowboat 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, he'll save me."

A helicopter was hovering 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."

The man shouted back that he was religious, that he prayed and that God would take him to safety.

The man drowned.

Standing at the gates of Saint 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 helicopter and a guy in a rowboat. What the hell are you doing here?"
