She said she had lived a good life, so was annoyed when someone suggested that she had not (and that the fact she had not may have caused a flood).

If we're going to move this discussion forwards at all, we need to try to establish why the Bish said what he did. Basic Christian concepts such as what true goodness really is (and whether we can attain it) are central to the Bishop's frame of reference.

On the other hand we could just skip straight to the point where threads like this usually end up getting closed, with any and all attempts at serious analysis dropped in favour of name-calling, parodies and cliches.
