有个很虔诚的人想证明他对上帝的信心,于是他把自己绑在海洋中间的桥墩上,海水没到他的胸口.
    当潮水来的时候,有一只小船经过,船上的人说,"嗨,你在干什 么?快来我的船上,我可以救你." 那人说他对上帝充满信心,上帝不会让他淹死的.
    当海水没到他的头时,又有一只船过来了.船工停下来问了要不要上船,对此那位快淹死的人说,"我对上帝完全相信,上帝一定不会让我淹死的."于是船开走 了.
    第三只船开来了,海水已经在拍打那人的鼻子了,船工很急,但那人的回答还是老样子.
    当最后的船离开,海水终于淹过那人的头,他被淹死了.
    到了天国,那人显然很困惑,当他看到上帝的时候,他说,"主啊,我对你充满信心,为什么你还是那样地击打我呢?你怎么不叫潮水停住呢!"
    对此上帝说,"天啊,人啊,你还要我做什么? 我已经为你派了三只船过去!!!"

A very religious man wanted to prove his faith in God. So, he tied himself to a pylon in the ocean, with the water up to his chest. As the tide started to come in, a boat came by. The man in the boat said, "Hey, what are you doing? Get in my boat and I will save you." At which time the man said that he had total faith in God and that He would not let him drown. As the water neared his head, another boat came by. The man stopped and said the same thing. To which the near drowning man stated, "I have total faith in my God. He will not let me drown." So, the boat went away. A third boat came by. This boater was frantic, being that the water was lapping at the man's nose. But the response was the same. As the last boat left, the water rose above his head and the man drowned. Walking around Heaven, the man was clearly confused. Then he saw God. "Lord, I had total faith in You. Why would You let me down like that? You made no effort to stop the tide!" At which time God stated, "Holy Cow, man, what more did you want from Me? I sent you three boats!!!"
