dumbass.

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."

now, I'm about as rabid an atheist as you can get. I'm all about disproving the existence of god. however, I also like to fancy myself a bit of a logical chap, and I have some serious beefs with this argument.

lions are dangerous. that's pretty much a given. and even if it isn't, zoos usually have big signs stating this. not to mention fences, walls, and all sorts of other protective shit. even if god DID exist, I have some serious doubts it would interfere with someone stupid enough to walk up to a lion on its own turf. it's not like the guy NEEDED a miracle to be saved or something, he just needed to not be an idiot. he put himself in danger, and really, an act of god should only cancel out another act of god, if one were to occur. why should god bother to save this guy's sorry ass?

this guy didn't prove god doesn't exist due to a lack of divine intervention. all he proved was he's a dumbass. and I think the world is a better place for it.
