That may be true, but someone is starting to talk about naughty parts.

I noticed. Of course, we can be sure it was all "clinical", if we should ask. Maybe if we ignore the trolling...

Okay, then. Shall we put it to a vote?

Delete, edit, or let sleeping dogs lie?

Never let it be said that I'm utterly an autocrat.

Like God isn't busy with stuff, and can keep watching for when they're trying to float the next witch or pick up hot coals and not get burned, or whatever. If I were God (and I am not, no matter what emmline says), I'd be like: "Sorry, dude, I gave you free will and you're just going to have to deal with the lioness on your own." Except I wouldn't be saying it, I'd be emoting it all over the universe and all the places where I decided not to put any universe but to just leave empty or universeless or whatever I'd call it.

P.S.: What's with the shoes?

So why do you suppose people think that God can micromanage things like touchdowns and good report cards but not being eaten by lions? And, if five people had jumped into the cage, and only one had gotten killed, would the other four say, "Thank God I didn't get killed?"

(This is sure to get this swept into the other forum)

Let sleeping horses lie. Their parts aren't naughty, except to other horses.

And you are otterly an uttocrat.

Anyway, now the thread's gone all religiocontroversial. (Thanks, FJohn).
Sweep it! Sweep it! You know you want to. Have a good time. We don't mind.

You do get some rather interesting reading when you google looking for the recipe.

Imagine shopping for the ingredients.

Man at grocer's:

"So, okay, I need a jar of fleur de sel, a satchet of herbs de provence, and, um, well, I need a, um . . .<cough>..."

Sooooo, anyway...

I think the problem here was that it was an Orthodox lion. You can't quite see a protestant lion going straight for the carotid like that, can you? I mean, a Calvinist lion, for example, would surely have refused to participation in such frivolous attempt to prove the non-existance of God. But it just goes to show you, there's no accounting for foreign parts and Ukrainian lions....

Might have been a Baptist lion; she thought maybe the guy was dancing.

It was clearly a reactionary atheistic humanitarian lion, who wished to quash any notion of God's existence, but do so in the kindest way possible.

We're blaming the lion now? Cool.

Mehtinks the smile is a thin disguise. Thought by now, you'd realise, there ain't no way to hide your lion eyes...

Well the taking off of the shoes was a dead give-away was'nit?

Have you noticed how people who jump off of buildings take the time to remove their shoes on the way down?

All that "God will protect me" guff was his suicide note - ensuring his place in the annals of C&F! (talk about using the back door to imortality!)

This thread reminds me of the one posted a couple years ago titled Missionary Converts Lions to Christianity. http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php ... ion#279767

A man was attacked and injured after jumping into a lion's den at the Taipei Zoo and trying to convert the lions to Christianity.

The 46-year-old man leaped into the den of African lions and shouted "Jesus will save you," according to the report. He also said, "Come bite me" before one of the male lions attacked and bit the man.

Video showed the lion ripping a jacket off the man at the zoo in Taiwan's capital, clawing him and then biting the man in the leg.

Zoo workers were able to drive off the lion with water hoses and tranquilizer guns.

The lions were fed earlier in the day otherwise the man might have been more seriously injured or killed. -story
