What more can a God do?

From Stephen Trower in response to a joke I published courtesy of reader Ian King:

“For editorial balance, I submit the following joke on true believers to counter the Armchair Mayor’s amusing joke on atheists.

“A Christian gentleman is caught in a flood and retreats to the roof of his house.  When a passing boat offers to take him to safety he declines with thanks, saying ‘I prefer to put my trust in God.’  A few hours later, he is spotted by a search-and-rescue helicopter. When the pilot tells him to hop into the cradle and be whisked to safe ground, he again declines, affirming his confidence that the Lord is well-positioned to see him through the predicament.

“So he drowns and goes to Heaven.  God says, ‘You’re here well before your allotted time.  What happened?’  To which the chap says, ‘It’s your fault. I put my trust in you and you let me down.’  God says, ‘Now wait a minute. First I send you a boat and after that a helicopter. What more can a guy do?'”
