Man Tries to Convert Lions to Christianity

This is really not funny, because, clearly, this man suffers from a thought disorder, or perhaps this is just an extension of the snake handling cult.

Man Survives Jump Into Lion's Den

A man was attacked and injured after jumping into a lion's den at the Taipei Zoo and trying to convert the lions to Christianity.

The 46-year-old man leaped into the den of African lions and shouted "Jesus will save you," according to the report. He also said, "Come bite me" before one of the male lions attacked and bit the man.

Video showed the lion ripping a jacket off the man at the zoo in Taiwan's capital, clawing him and then biting the man in the leg. Zoo workers were able to drive off the lion with water hoses and tranquilizer guns.

The lions were fed earlier in the day otherwise the man might have been more seriously injured or killed.

With faith, all things are possible. With this kind of faith, a Darwin Award is possible.

This is one Christian who might have benefitted from studying the rather tense history between Christians and lions.

The psychosis can probably be treated, but there is no known cure for Christianity.

i agree this is not funny...maybe he was hearing voices. What's up with all the recent cases of people doing stupid, crazy things and saying God told them to do it?

maybe he needs some medicatin and a very soft room

Maybe he thought he was the reincarnated soul of Daniel of Old Testament fame!

That's interesting. Maybe it's the anti-christ thing.

That guy gets the 'Crazy-man-with-shirt-tucked-in' award.

That picture is amazing.
