Why not cut the middleman and just help yourself all the way?

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.
:laugh:

just proof that God only helps those with true faith! this man did not truelly believe the "IF he exist" pissed him off and caused God to watch the re-run of golden girls

this seems like a re-act.
i thought a while ago, similar thing happened at china.
a "crazy" (really) chinese did the exact same thing, the only difference is that he survived, i think.

His primary mistake was taking his shoes off...I bet the lioness killed him for reeking up her cage!
Note that the guys filming National Geographic stuff are always wearing shoes.

I would think God had already tried to save that man just by the obvious fact that the man wasn't forced to enter the lions cage.
