Women are insane (at least some)

[Dis]

I thought the general consensus was 99% of women were insane. How is this news?

Lioness kills visitor at Kiev zoo

A lioness at Kiev's zoo has killed a man who climbed into her enclosure.
A Ukrainian of Azerbaijani origin lowered himself into the enclosure using a rope. He was quoted as saying God would save him.

One of four lions in the enclosure seized the 45-year-old by the throat, and he died at the scene.

The zoo - which keeps the lions on an "island" protected by concrete blocks - was packed with visitors at the time of the attack on Sunday.

"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," a zoo official told Reuters news agency.

"A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery."

Nice work, Lioness.

I think it's called 'natural selection' .

"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," a zoo official told Reuters news agency.

"Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." Not even the New Testament know these zealots.

"A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery."

Full qualified Darwin award candidate, no doubt.

Or the Talmud

'For example, our Sages declare in a number of places, "Those engaged in
a mitzva-related mission do not come to harm" (Yoma 11a, Kiddushin 39b,
Chullin 142a). On the other hand, the Talmud concludes, "This principle
is inoperative where danger is to be expected" (Pesachim 8b; see also the
above sources, where the formulation is slightly different). To complicate
matters further, another passage declares that one is forbidden to rely
upon a miracle (Pesachim 64b).'

So, instead of warring with the violent fringe of one religion, you'd be at war with ALL religions, simultaneously. Including the heavily-religious, heavily-armed U.S. Yep, that's quite sensible.

the irony here is that the rightist fundies just LOVE to point to intolerant secularists, from Europe especially, to justify all kinds of silly things.

"God will save me, if he exists," huh?

The Kiev dude isn't clearly atheist or Xian, based on the story given. He sounds psychotic, but he could be acting on either of two crackheaded delusions:

1. "I must show my faith. I will go to hell if I do not give a sign of my belief RIGHT now!" or
2. "God is just a conspiracy invented by the Illuminati and Hitler! This will prove it to the world, definitively!"

[Dis]

exactly. If you don't have absolute faith, then you hardly qualify as a religious fundamentalist.

The thing is we atheists don't have a holy book, so it's going to hard for us to have some kind of narrow, literal interpretation of it.
