One day, a radio report goes out, warning the town that, in the wake of torrential rain, a river is going to burst its banks, the rain will get worse, and town will be flooded, and to leave the town as soon as possible. Upon hearing this, the man assures himself that, as he is a religious person, and has put his faith in the Lord, he will be saved by the Lord.
His neighbour, on his way to leave, tells him "Haven't you heard the flood warning? What are you doing, get out of here! There's a seat in my car for you", to which the guy responds, "I believe in God. I go to church, and I pray. I have put my faith in the Lord, he will save me."
A few hours later, the water has rushed into the town and is half a story high. A motorboat is going through the town, looking for people stuck in the water. By this point, the man has had to move up to the top floor and he's looking out the window at the scene below. The motorboat stops and the driver shouts up at him, "What are you still doing in town!? Jump down and I'll get you out of here!".
"No thanks!", yells the man, "I believe in God, I pray, I go to church. I have put my faith in the Lord, and he will save me."
Several hours later the water has reached two stories high and the man is perched on his roof, waiting for the divine salvation that is surely coming. A helicopter passes overhead and from the loudspeaker, the pilot shouts down, "Hey! Hey you! On the roof! What the hell are you still doing here!? The whole town is flooded. Hold right there while we lower a rope ladder."
"No thanks", the man says to the co-pilot who climbed down the ladder, "I am a religious man, I have lived a pure life, I go to church, and I pray. I have placed my faith in the Lord, and he will save me."
Eventually the water surpasses the rooftops, and the man drowns. At the entrance to heaven he is furious, and after entering, demands St. Peter take him to see God. St. Peter obliges and the man gets an audience with the Lord.
The man breaks down. "I devoted my life to you, Lord. I was a good man, led a pure life, I went to church, I prayed, and I honoured my father and mother, and when I needed you most, you left me to die? Why did you do this, Lord?"
The Lord responds: "I sent you a radio warning, a car, a motorboat, and a helicopter! What in the hell are you doing here?"
