Man attempts to convert lion to Christianity - and fails!
    #9120552 - 10/23/08 10:33 AM (15 years, 5 months ago)

November 3, 2004

A man was attacked and injured after jumping into a lion's den at the Taipei Zoo and trying to convert the lions to Christianity.

The 46-year-old man leaped into the den of African lions and shouted "Jesus will save you," according to the report. He also said, "Come bite me" before one of the male lions attacked and bit the man. (Cool. This demonstrates the lion's command of language.)

Video showed the lion ripping a jacket off the man at the zoo in Taiwan's capital, clawing him and then biting the man in the leg.

Zoo workers were able to drive off the lion with water hoses and tranquilizer guns.

The lions were fed earlier in the day otherwise the man might have been more seriously injured or killed
.

Damn! We almost had another Darwin Award.

This story leaves many things to question. How does one successfully convert an animal to a religion? Do Lions have other gods?

More importantly is there a link (besides the obvious one) between mental illness and religion?

All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

I've been thinking about this allot lately. I am going through an epic amount of mental and physical stress lately, and I have been watching myself very closely for signs of a psychotic break. I honestly believe that my continual logical analysis of my thought process, and my actions is the only thing holding one off.

Religion it seems would serve as a wonderful coping mechanism, and would no doubt improve my subjective experience of my current situation. Though it would likely only exacerbate the condition in the long term.

Stress > mental instability > irrational belief systems > irrational actions > stress.....Formula: 0

Like a butt sexin from MC Escher himself.
