Angels

[bcuster]

There may be things beyond our understanding. What are they? Fuck knows, because by definition they're beyond our understanding.

You, meanwhile, know all about them, because you have a hotline to the Big Kahuna, courtesy of the traditions of a church you believe in for no better reason than that you were spawned into it. You are blessed beyond compare.

Thank you. More than I deserve, certainly...

This type of interpretation of the world requires humility to grasp..

Or drugs.

Highly recommend Unmastered as well, not read Daddy Issues but I expect that's good too.

 

[hitmouse]

bcuster's a bot, no?

I thought bcuster was dead into the Virgin Mary, but apparently they're loving angels instead.

 

[ouirdeaux]

Might as well optimise one's chances.

Sea angels:

 

[Orang Utan]

They don't have bodies or body parts

Mark 12:25 - The Sadducees and the Resurrection

When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

Yes, of course.
An angel doesn’t make love.
An angel IS love

If angels don’t exist how do you explain Angel Delight?

If angels exist it begs the question just what powdered angelic bodily fluid angel delight is made from.

 

[xenon]

The angels mentioned in biblical scripture of course just misinterpretations of the alien beings I referred to earlier.

 

[xenon]

don’t take my word for it. There are books about it and everything.

 

[bcuster]

 

[farmerbarleymow]

That makes sense I guess.

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

Good questions. I'm sure I've no answers that will satisfy you or any cynic

Or you could just say that you have no answers. To anything really.

I believe Angels, good and bad, exist. Let’s discuss

What would you like us to discuss? Your belief in angels? I don’t see the point in discussing that. You believe what you believe.

My disbelief in literal angels? Again, very little point in discussing that.

I don’t know where “oh yes it is; oh no it isn’t” will get us.

I don’t know where “oh yes it is; oh no it isn’t” will get us.

It'd be a right pantomime.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

It'd be a right pantomime.

Oh no it wouldn't

 

[Silas Loom]

Oh no it wouldn't

It’s beneath you!

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

It’s beneath you!

The hell it is

 

[bcuster]

Angels appear in many different ways and manners in many different cultures. Literature, art, theology, etc.

But if the subject is too frightening to the maintenance of your cynical rejection of faith, so be it...

 

[Sue]

The hell it is

Nothing is beneath Zapp Brannigan. Sadly.

All them cosmonauts saw several outside Salyut 7.

So do unicorns. Doesn't mean they are real.

I’m happy to respond. I’m just trying to find out what response is being asked for.

There’s a fruitful debate that could happen. There’s an unfruitful exchange that could happen.

 

[JimW]

By their fruits shall ye know them. I'm a mango myself.

 

[PTK]

I’ve had at least one experience with angels I’ll share

One snowy, icy night I was driving home

I was driving just a little too fast for conditions, lost steering control and slid off the road

The car was still moving fast with no braking power due to the ice
There was nothing ahead of me except for one tree which without doubt I was going to hit at high speed

I saw a giant hand through the windshield directly ahead of me. The car stopped , I backed up got back on the road

I believe that was the hand of an Angel that stopped my car

Well, you are blessed indeed that an Angel/God considered your life more worthy of saving than the children gassed in the extermination camps in the 1940s, or the kids dying in the Gaza Strip.
