I couldn’t help it. This made me laugh so fucking hard, I just had to share it. I know. I’m not being sensitive to the Christians in the house. Or to mentally imbalanced persons. Or to mentally unstable Christians for that matter. I know. I just posted an “oh the humanity piece.” And this is inconsistent. But darn it all, atheists have to laugh some time:
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.”
That lioness obviously has no respect for higher powers.
No kidding. She needs some sensitivity training.
This fucking sentence is just cracking me up:
She so matter-of-factly disregarded his faith.
I literally can’t stop laughing (Eventhough I realize now that I may have mistakenly maligned Christians with this piece — as the article does not mention which God fell down on the job in not sparing this poor bastard’s life).
Perhaps, but the symbolism of the episode…”Daniel in the lion’s den“…and all…is more than a bit ironic.
Dark humour to be sure, but humour none-the-less.
Darwin would be proud…:{)

“You’ve won this inning Darwin. . . but victory will be ours,” said Pat Roberston on the early lead posted by the Athiest team. “I’m bringing in a a righty. A pitcher who was seated at the right hand of the father. And he will smite the non-believers and the infidel big cats.”
All of them, apparently. </snark>
Maybe God was on the phone?
Calling bull pen for Daniel. Get him up and ready. Now intervening. Number 10 in your program, but number 1 in the Lion’s Den, Daniel.
oprima el numero dos, por favor.
For Spanish, press two, please.
Yo es aprendizaje. Una poco.
As long as it is not portugeuse.
The fact that he is Ukrainian, part of the legendary Russian tradition of pessimism, makes all the difference for me.
I wonder if he had taken a gulp or two of vodka before deciding on this particular experiment for proving the existence of God?
Considering how many lions have been killed by men, maybe God was protecting the lion.
This guy is a shoe-in for the Darwin Awards.
will clear his record, this is just terrible! He was obviously newly back from some sin that he had done. We have plenty of lions in America, I think the magical thinking Christian Right needs to get right on this before people start thinking that maybe they are all full of shit!
