Jesus saves, but lions hack

TAIPEI (Reuters) - A man leaped into a lion’s den at the Taipei Zoo on Wednesday to try to convert the king of beasts to Christianity, but was bitten in the leg for his efforts.

“Jesus will save you!” the 46-year-old man shouted at two African lions lounging under a tree a few meters away.

“Come bite me!” he said with both hands raised, television footage showed.

One of the lions, a large male with a shaggy mane, bit the man in his right leg before zoo workers drove it off with water hoses and tranquilizer guns.

Newspapers said that the lions had been fed earlier in the day, otherwise the man might have been more seriously hurt … or worse.

You can’t ‘save’ Cats (With the possible exception of a certian few).

Hey, he’s alive ain’t he. It’s a miracle, a miracle I tell you!!

so did the lion convert?

I have to admit I admire his commitment to the premises of his belief system.

I think he’s batshit insane, of course, but I do have to give him props for putting his money where his mouth was, so to speak.

.

Later on, Mr. Simba O’ Jungle (The lion aggressor) declared “Hey! I just did what he asked, what’s with the tranquilizer!?”

Nope. It Impossible to Convert cats.

Unless it is a member or the RPGC

Maybe he thought one of them was saint Mark.

From what i understand only humans have souls so only they can go to heaven so converting animals, even if you could, would be fruitless. whether there is any kind of animals in heaven, don’t know.

There are the three-beasts-and-a-man of the apocalypse living there! Eagle, lion and goat, right?

I think you are mixing the Four Riders of Apocalypse with the Four Seraphim.

Freak. He ought to read Nietszche’s Antichrist.

I love seeing belief problems solve themselves.

Yeah, animals don’t have souls. No heaven for them. What a moron.

How do we know God didn’t command the lion to attack this man? Maybe he was a sinner.

Eagle, lion with wings, man with wings, and bull with wings. And they’re the angels that represent John, Mark, Matthew and Luke. There’s no goat there, and they don’t have anything to do with the apocalypse.

the goat of the apocalypse. run away! flees

To be more precise, they are the four six-winged angels of the eight (And highest) rank that sit next to God’s throne, the Seraphim. They all have the body of a lion, six wings (Two to cover their genitals, two to fly, and I forgot what the other two were for) and each one of them has a different head (Lion, eagle, man and bull).

the other two cover the feet if i’m correct. or the eyes. actually i don’t recal the genitals being covered, but the eyes and feet.

Ah yes, I remember: “Cover their eyes in the presence of God”.

Thanks.
