Ha. Every time I hear that I remember this sort of joke I heard a while ago. I don't think it's a joke.
There was this God-fearing farmer that lived all his life under strict prayer and obeying all the rules, etc. You know, Flanders.
One day a flood came. Farmer took refuge on the roof of the house and looked up, saying "OK, God, I've been nice all my life, you owe me one, save me".
Nothing happened. No light, no intervention, nothing.
He still believed.
A rescue worker came by in a boat, offering a ride. "No," he said, "God will save me". Later, another boat. "No", he said. Then another boat. "Last chance" said the army man. "No, God will save me, I have no doubt".
Flood came, he died.
Up in Heaven, at the gates, Flanders was definitely irked. "Dude," he said, "what gives? All my life, dedicated, all I did, you let me die?".
"Hmmm," mutters God, picking up a dusty book and flipping pages. "Dude, I have no idea what you are talking about. The book says I sent you three boats."

So yes, I can't wait till you're at judgment day and you hear "Dude, I have no idea what you're all about. It says here you had a SWITCH."
