Today's Installment of W.T.F. Part III


Lioness in zoo kills man who invoked God

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 mean really, W.T.F.?

clearly the man lacked Faith. A true believer would not have said,
"... if He exists", nor would a true believer have "crept" into the
den - he would have boldly walked in.

Obviously this means that God supports evolution - this was clearly a case of 'survival of the fittest' in action...
