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.

G-d indeed DID save him. He saved him from doing further foolish acts.

Reminds me of an officer with a K-9. You can argue with the cop. You can't argue with the dog.

'God will save me, if he exists'Apparently did NOT have the faith as small as a mustard seed. (And a little nuts to boot!)
