Lioness in zoo kills man who invokes God
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.

Sounds like he still had his doubts, to me. It would've been more satisfying if the guy was absolutely sure God would save him, instead of just daring God to save him, and then was mauled to death.
Because there's just something nice about a lion eating a good Christian.
