Angels

I prefer angles.

No, because what you imagine is an Angel is not what ancient writings show them to be whether they're man made in the first place or delivered by a God him or herself.

Cracked.com painted the best picture of how a modern world has shaped "Angels" into their own liking.

lol

surely to believe in angels you need to believe in god?

hence they don't exist.

Don't be silly.

Reminds me of this...

Edit... Bah... Slightly beaten to it, but this is the full version

Edit 2... No I don't believe in angels

Yes I do believe in angels but not the winged harp playing variety residing in clouds.

About as real as our reptillian overlords that have dominion over us.

Everytime you see a little white feather, thats a sign from your Guardian Angel.

If you call to you Guardian Angel for some guidance, then you will know they are listening by dropping a little white feather by you.. not instantly but you will see it that day.

Myspace Angles are not good, though.

Nope, another invention from religious nutters.

We've had tears before bedtime from my daughter because she watched Prince of Egypt and was scared of the angel of death. Fun times trying to explain that one.

How did you handle it? If you don't mind my asking.

OP is in for a hell of a shock when he discovers Santa isn't real.

Ooops, sorry for the lack of spoiler tags :rolleyes:

Well, we kinda got away with it on the basis that she's a girl and the angel of death only killed firstborn sons. On a deeper level, we did our best to explain that Pharoah had been warned of the consequences if he didn't release the Israelites from slavery. He failed to heed Moses' - and by proxy God's - warning, and so he suffered the consequences.

And then some other explaining about how lots of the other angels are nice and just do postman or singing jobs, but some of them do mean serious business.

Yes, they do. Not with wings and halos, that's just Christian symbolism. But as spirits.

Halos aren't Biblical, that's renaissance art for you. The wings are in there, though.

Uh huh. Either that or there are, y'know, birds and things with feathers. Furniture, cushions and duvets with feathers...

Soon as I saw this thread I thought of Lord Vetinari...

So Mister Lipwig, do you believe in angels?

Grandmaster Fap! · 17 Mar 2011 at 13:58

Artists created angels....
