SKIRMISHER

Here’s probably one proof of why human beings need some reasonable evidence before investing their lives in a belief.

A man in Kiev gave his full trust in God, entered a lion den, and died faster than you can say, “Sphincter boy says what?”

A zoo official said:

“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.”

I think I remember there’s a prophet somewhere that “survived” something similar. But maybe it was just tall tale. With the storm of controversy that hounded the Da Vinci Code, which turned out to be a snore of a film, and why it should have a “fiction” label plastered on its face, maybe it’s not so outrageous to put a disclaimer on religious literature, especially involving stories where beasts respected human beings.

Some deaths are funny.
