“Jesus will save you!” shouted the 46-year-old man 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.

I've heard of throwing Christians to the lions but I've never heard of a Christian jumping in with them. Those who ignore history tend to repeat it.

It reminds me of the bit in the bible where they go i rebuke the evil spirit in the name of Jesus who Paul talks about
Then the evil spirit attacks them and says i know Jesus and i know Paul yet i dont know you
People should really trust in God as the bible says
Poor man, yet i guess you have to be a bit mad to jump in a lions den in the 1st place
