Default Man tries to convert Lions

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...taiwan_lion_dc

"TAIPEI (Reuters) - A man leaped into a lion's den at the Taipei Zoo on Wednesday to try to convert the king of beasts to Christianity, but was bitten in the leg for his efforts.

"Jesus will save you!" the 46-year-old man shouted at two African lions lounging under a tree a few meters away.

"Come bite me!" he said with both hands raised, television footage showed.

One of the lions, a large male with a shaggy mane, bit the man in his right leg before zoo workers drove it off with water hoses and tranquilizer guns.

Newspapers said that the lions had been fed earlier in the day, otherwise the man might have been more seriously hurt ... or worse. "

Well... in the old testament donkeys can talk and when God threatens to destroy a town and all its animals prey too.....

edit: the really sad thing is that some preachers may take it as proof that God pretects because the man was not killed. He might come to the same conclusion since the animal bit him after he told it too and he lived.

edit2: Also, God may be thanked for him living, while the zookeepers will be ignored.

So now the Christians are throwing themselves to the lions, interesting (trying to resist the temptation to make some jokes in bad taste).

Did the lion say, "For this food I am about to eat, I thank thee Lord"?
