 |
|
| Quote: | A CROCODILE killed and ate a 25-year-old man in Bangladesh after he waded into a pond next to a shrine hoping to be blessed by the animal, police say.
Inspector Humayun Kabir said Rubel Sheikh and his mother travelled 50km from their home to visit the Muslim Khan Jahan Ali shrine, where the attack happened.
Kabir said hundreds of people visit the shrine every day to offer hens and goats to the five crocodiles living in the pond. Part of the ritual involves bathing in the water.
"He went into the pond hoping to be blessed when a crocodile attacked him and dragged him into the deep part of the pond,'' Kabir said.
"This is a very unusual incident. Normally, the crocodiles are very friendly and do not harm people.''
Kabir said about 25 people dived into the pond following the attack yesterday, but could not find the man's body... |

Whoa! I don't know what to say!
Maybe God means it when He tells us not to worship other Gods.

Oh, but the man WAS blessed, don't you see?
Right before the croc ate him, the croc was clearly heard saying out loud:
"....and Lord, bless this food which I am about to receive."
What a yutz!!! 
Genesis 1: 26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Proverbs 16:25 is the passage of scripture that came to my mind.
| Quote: | | There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. (NIV) |
| Quote: | | Maybe God means it when He tells us not to worship other Gods. |
In this tragic incident we see a vivid demonstration that idolatry leads to death.
