A sad standard by which to judge people of faith
The faithful, Christians and others, are parodied as mouth-breathing lunatics in some quarters. One reason, I'm afraid, might be that too much attention is paid to stories like this: Lioness in zoo kills man who invoked God
Witness the story of this former genius/stupid loser:
KIEV (Reuters) - A man shouting that God would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lioness in Kiev zoo after he crept into the animal's enclosure, a zoo official said on Monday."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," the official said.
"A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery."
...
Granted, some might consider this story proof that there is no God. Consider the possibility, however, that God does exist but just thought the man from Kiev was a faithless schmuck who deserved to die. Or had made a promise to the lioness. Whatever. Because lions are people too, ya know.

Patton: I saw this headline and considered mentioning it, but I felt that something was missing from my analysis and held off. Now I see that what I was failing to consider was that perhaps God had promised something to the lioness...
"if he exists" Great last
"if he exists" Great last words before taking a leap of faith.

A close reading of the old
A close reading of the old testament should reveal to anyone that God is not one to be fucked with. Just cause Daniel survived the Lion's Den, doesn't mean you will, especially if you're tempting him on the way in.
