Apparently, God Didn't Love You.

You're an idiot. We ain't lion! Always go with your gut instincts, don't second guess yourself, and stand true to your intentions. That being said, don't be a fucking idiot. Bungie jumping, sky diving, and car racing are all fun risk-taking exercises of excitement. Religion and faith, however, are not usually mentioned with them, and for good reason.

Ohtaj Humbat ohli Makhmudov decided to prove to the world that his love of God would protect him. Surely, when he jumped into a pen of lions at the Kyiv Zoo, he'd be just fine! "Because God loves me, the lions will not harm me!" Those are what we call famous last words. Waving his arms to get the lions' attention, any god he might have believed in either thought he was an asshole or just wasn't there. He got tackled by a lioness who went straight for his jugular.

The good news is that the lions didn't go hungry that day. The bad news? Shit, there was no bad news!
