Boy, I'm glad we answered that question once and for all...

I don't know about that, there are some smart Christians. I don't claim to understand them, but they're not Just Plain Dumb. This guy, however...

I find it wonderfully ironic that this guy is a poster child for Darwinism.

Meh. Would have been funnier with lions.

God doesn't save people who don't boast.

Or something like that.

It's in there somewhere.

Or it could be 'God doesn't help stupid people'.

But then again, my dog is stupid. I once dropped him on the concrete when he was a puppy, he's still alive today

Some people take the bible too literally...

Halo299 · Post by **Halo299** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 8:27 pm

sad as it is, i used to do stuff like that when i was a kid.

never with lions but i would come up with stupid stuff and be like "if god is real...then i will get this new video game." if thier is a god i'd hope he'd have better things to do than to play logic games with little kids and dumb people.

so far so good

Considering the high suicide rates in the former soviet union, this does not seem odd at all. If he was at least passively suicidal, then he apparantly found quite an effective method. If this gets a lot of coverage, we'll likely be seing numerous copycats.

Luckily, God invented lions to help us dispose of those people.

I've been dreaming up an "Evolution in Action" zoo. It's like a normal zoo, only without all the "do not stick hands into lion cage" and "do not swim in shark tank" warnings.

I would point out that it never specified the guy's proclaimed religion.

Moreover, I find it unlikely that he had any pre-arranged contract (which now seems evident), and was thus no better than someone at a restaurant and saying "They'll pay my bill."

Its as if Darwin came back from beyond the grave just to kick this guy in the nuts.

Has anyone reported this to the Darwin Awards yet?

Actually, I have considered doing something like this from time to time, just to be sure. But then I realized that there is no guarantee that any god, if they existed, would give a rat's ass about me.

ManaUser · Post by **ManaUser** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 9:06 pm

It's seems somewhat unclear if he was trying to prove God exists or to prove he didn't while putting an end to his own miserable existance at the same time.

Thge main thing that makes me wonder is that he supposedly shouted "God will save me, if he exists". One would expect a true believer to simply say "God will save me!"

Nithos · Post by **Nithos** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 10:54 pm

Exactly, a true believer would say "God will save me!", a poor, depressed fuck who's faith in god has been smashed by a brutal life will say "God will save me, if there is a god!" not really giving a fuck which is the answer. If there's a God, wooohoo! If not, fuckit, what is there to lose? Just his life, apparently.

*sigh* Why do people try to bring God into their idiiocy ...? They all forget the golden rule: "Don't tempt the Lord." You got life, you got free will, why the heck are you trying to pin everything on the Big Guy?

I just wish American Christians did this kind of thing more often.. like every day.

Silly christians, don't they know that the romans proved scientifically, that god can't stop christians from being eaten by lions.

By scientifically, I mean feeding hundreds them to lions. Definite plus for making sure they got the right result.

Lions, Jehovas only weakness!
