她一直说洪水是上帝的旨意，我们必须服从它。但是我没有那样看到事情。在我看来，提交很像放弃。如果上帝赐予我们保释的力量 - 试图拯救自己的努力，那不是他想要我们做的吗？
(She kept saying that the flood was God's will and we had to submit to it. But I didn't see things that way. Submitting seemed to me a lot like giving up. If God gave us the strength to bail-the gumption to try to save ourselves-isn't that what he wanted us to do?)
