Man Survives Jump Into Lion’s Den: 46-Year-Old Reportedly Trying To Convert Lions To Christianity

From the “Be Careful What You Ask For, Because You Just Might Get It” Department comes this tale of a poor, misguided soul who failed to grasp one Universal Truth: animals don’t care about religion. Outside of eating, sleeping, and copulating, I’m not altogether sure animals care about anything at all. Yep, if ever there was a DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener, it would be this maroon. Save for the lack of a name in this story, we’d have our latest DUMB@$$.

Sometimes, in spite of their best efforts to become eligible for a Darwin Award, some folks just can’t seem to get it together. If you believe that you are what you eat, then perhaps these lions are better off. They deserve someone smarter.

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.

Frankly, he probably deserved to be dessert. Besides, anyone with half a brain knows that lions never pray before they eat, right??
