3. Loved this... from the comments at the site:

There's an old joke that kinda goes like this:

A man is watching the floodwaters rise up to his house when a man comes up in a boat and says "Get in." The man says "I have faith and am praying that God will save me," so the boat leaves. Later the water has risen to the second floor of the house when another man in a boat comes by and says "Get in." Again, the man refuses saying "I have faith and am praying that God will save me," so the boat leaves. Now the floodwaters have reached the roof of the house and a helicopter flies by and says "Climb up." The man again refuses, saying "I have faith and am praying that God will save me." The helicopter flies away, the floodwaters rise and drown the man.

Up in Heaven, the man gets to stand before God and asks "I don't understand. I had faith. I prayed. Why didn't you save me?" God replies, "What do you mean? I sent you two boats and a helicopter."
