"Lioness in zoo kills man who invoked God"
A story about a man who climbed down a rope into a lion enclosure at a zoo and exclaimed "God will save me, if He exists." One of the lioness' instantly approached and killed him.
This story has sparked a big forum about how it is proof that God doesn't exist.
My view could not be added to the forum because i am not a member and i don't want to sign up to something i would never visit. So i'll put my view here and i'm open to listening to other people's views.
Firstly i believe it is important to know whether this man had genuine faith or was just trying to find for himself an answer. Secondly, does the Bible not say,
"do not test the Lord your God!"? (matthew 4:7)
Now if it says that then how can we have faith? Well the Bible also says,
"And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." (Mark 16:17-18)
So what does that mean? Well to me it says this guy didn't read his Bible properly. To me i believe this means that so long as we do not test the Lord our God we shall be safe from harm. So in relation to this guy the way i see it is if this man was thrown into the enclosure like Belteshazzar he would have survived because it was not his will that caused him to drink the poison. But he instead chose to go into the enclosure and test God. Because of his testing he was shown nothing. The Bible says that,
"Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." (John 20:29)

I think more than anything that it shows that a large majority of the population are retarded. Who goes into a Lion enclosure? Seriously?
He probably didn't even read his bible at all. He's most likely dilusional. And on top of that where does he mention it's our God that he wants to save us anyway?
What do you suppose would have happened if Jesus had acted on Satan's private interpretation of Scripture to cast himself down from the pillar of the temple? He would have gone "splat", that's freaking what!
This rocket scientist is typical product of the "seeking after signs" excrement so popular in the holy-roller, empty-headed-emotionalism based brands of "Christian"ized spiritualism today.
"Tempting God" is not believing Him.
