A GFCI is a lot like a seatbelt. It's there to provide some protection in the event that you end up in a really bad situation where you are the most convenient path to ground. It's not there to enable one to be careless with electricity, if you touch a GFCI protected circuit you will probably still get a shock, but hopefully the power will cut quickly enough that it won't be lethal.
