Lioness in zoo kills man who invoked God
    #5756553 - 06/16/06 08:30 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

KIEV (Reuters) - A man shouting that God would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lioness in Kiev zoo after he crept into the animal's enclosure, a zoo official said on Monday.

"The man shouted 'God will save me, if he exists', lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions," the official said.

"A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery."

The incident, Sunday evening when the zoo was packed with visitors, was the first of its kind at the attraction. Lions and tigers are kept in an "animal island" protected by thick concrete blocks.

lol
I mean not that I believe in god, but wasn't what he was doing putting god and his faith to the test, rather than just believing?  He had to prove it?

Either there is no god, or else god didn't like him :laugh:

Yeah, he had faith. Faith in God. Who needs logic and reason when you have that.

just cuz he died doesn't mean God wasnt protecting him.

""On another occasion Babaji's s acred circle was disturbed by the arrival of a stranger. He had climbed with astonishing skill to the nearly inaccessible ledge near the camp of the master. "'Sir, you must be the great Babaji.' The man's face was lit with inexpressible reverence. 'For months I have pursued a ceaseless search for you among these forbidding crags. I implore you to accept me as a disciple.' "When the great guru made no response, the man pointed to the rocky chasm at his feet. "'If you refuse me, I will jump from this mountain. Life has no further value if I cannot win your guidance to the Divine.' "'Jump then,' Babaji said unemotionally. 'I cannot accept you in your present state of development.' "The man immediately hurled himself over the cliff. Babaji instructed the shocked disciples to fetch the strang er's body. When they returned with the mangled form, the master placed his divine hand on the dead man. Lo! he opened his eyes and prostrated himself humbly before the omnipotent one. "'You are now ready for discipleship.' Babaji beamed lovingly on his resurrected chela. 'You have courageously passed a difficult test. Death shall not touch you again; now you are one of our immortal flock.' Then he spoke his usual words of departure, 'Dera danda uthao'; the whole group vanished from the mountain."

It doesn't mean there is a god and it doesn't mean there is not a god; it just means this guy is a nutjob.

I think it just proves that God doesn't intervene on behalf of idiots.

God, if there is one, is never the problem. It's people who think they know God. :tongue:

well you also have to understand that god doesn't control the animals, he leaves that up to mother earth who is very seperate from him

so that guy should have practiced wicca and prayed/sacraficed/whatever to mother earth and he would have been saved by her

but god is a comedian, lol

Yes indeed, God is only concerned with Mars and Jupiter and occasionally with Uranus. :tongue:

Is there anything more exciting than watching wild animals kill humans?
