Lioness in zoo kills man who invoked God
Mon Jun 5, 8:31 AM ET
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.

I could see the end of theism with such an approach.
"Religion is like a badly written contract - most people don't read most (much less all) of it, believe what the other party says, and execute with the best of intentions and naivety."

And of course follow the logic of what he said with what happened!
Meh, people will just say "don't test God!"
This would make a great TV show Test your Faith with Pat Robinson. Like Fear Factor without the safety shit.

Be a good way to get rid of some fundies!
Maybe we could challenge the snake handling believers to take a real test of their faith. "Silly fundies, snakes are for kids!"
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. - Seneca
there actually is a church where people hold poisonous snakes and the more you hold the holier you are.
these people wouldnt have the balls to do this if medical science was this advanced
Still a very stupid, irrational thing to do.
Yeah, Daniel was a total dick.
I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world. - Richard Dawkins
