If you wish to believe the tooth fairy exists, then believe.
If you wish to think there's some kind of winged elf looking down on you, then believe.
But hey, do you wanna buy a bridge? I've got a well-used one that is collecting millions...and I'll sacrifice for $1,000.00. See, I need the money.
Hey I actually DO NOT believe in angles. At least in the heavenly white winged version.
I don't believe there is a location called heaven or that it is swarming with these angles.
I use the term VERY loosely when I say something like "she was like an angle in his life" or "there must have been an angle looking out for me". Just a figure of speech to describe good fortune or caring people.
I am going to a meet-up tonight and the guest will be speaking on angles. I'm practicing on keeping a straight face and not cracking up if she goes off on literal interpretation.
I'm hoping someone on here will attempt to convince me of them. I don't think it can be done but I would enjoy the challenge.
St. Augustine said, and the modern Catechism of the Catholic Church says the same, that angels do not exist. Surprised?
Well, let me clarify. There is no such thing as an angel just as there is no such thing as a lawyer. The Catholic Church and several other mainstream Christian churches teach that angel is not a kind of being but an office, that is, a job description. Some spirits do that kind of work and are called angels, just as some humans practice law and are called lawyers. Anyway, that's what those churches say and it jives with my experience. There are all sorts of spirits. My power animals are spirits, and once or twice I've seen them unzip their animal suits and what is underneath is something amazingly radiant, beautiful, powerful, pure and good. But they get all embarrassed if I call them angels.
