flaw pesky i love analogies problem is they are always tough to make good ones for example the rising water was threatening to do the man of faith in and it only defeated him after he stupidly refused aid problem is the rising water representing a future threat giving time to make correct decision to accept aid is passe in this case the water has already drowned the man of faith before the story begins the block threat damage drowning has already taken place it is not a future threat ask yourself if there is a future threat on peny now that is worse than his present situation they already got him he feels unjustly so without policy basis he's been roasted already and in heaven already the story was cute but the analogy is broken
