Why else would the descriptions of angels largely end as humanity exploded in population? just like with aliens, we fucking ate them all
There's always a bigger fish.
"Did you ever notice how in the Bible, whenever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, he sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence spent praising your God, but always with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?" -Thomas Daggett, the Prophecy
And something out there preys on them?!
Excrucians!
Realizing angels and God are evil is what made me come to the conclusion it's all a lie and leave Islam.
the ever present fact that satan punishes evildoers, yet he's called evil
Probably some ancient human with power armor or a flying aircraft. There's not too much to think about when picturing angels
no, actually they never existed and it's just a stupid story
Where is your proof? Hah, checkmate atheists :^)
/s
well, you got me there.
absence of evidence is evidence
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, at least.
I on the other hand have evidence for my religion, the good word of "Bob" is the only evidence I need. He was told by JHVH-1 himself after being zapped while working on a TV set of his own design in 1953.
PRA'BOB
I like the idea of the Church of Subgenius, but tbh they're so good at schizoposting on their website that I can't make heads or tails about what they're talking about.
Write to "Bob" at PO Box 807 Glen Rose TX, 76043, include like $3-5 bucks and you'll receive all the knowledge ye seek in return.
That or listen to the 30+yr of radio archives on www.subgenius.com, or grab a Book of the SubGenius from the site (signed by Rev. Ivan Stang no less), the site itself is easier to parse after reading the books or listening to the shows.
And you can always find SubGeniuses directly on mastodon on our instance dobbs.town, though they may not be the best source of knowledge about anything at all, depending on a few factors.
Ok wanna hear my theory on angels?
First, this presumes all accounts are true, so if you can't get by that, stop here.
The people on record of having seen angels describe them as having "wings" and "eyes", however as these people were very likely agricultural in nature (farmers, herders, etc.) they may have simply described what they saw with the closest analogies they had. What they actually saw could have been something much different, but so far beyond their experience that they couldn't describe them any other way.
Hypothesis: angels are actually higher dimensional beings that exist in more than 3 dimensions, and intersect part of their being to our 3 dimensions in order to interact with us. "Wings" and "eyes", along with "wheels within wheels" could be undulations, harmonics, ripples, echoes, sympathetic frequencies of their actual presence that we interpret as best we can. It's like when the sphere visits Flatland, we are seeing multidimensional cross sections of them, which give them such an otherworldly appearance.
Their appearance is pretty consistent into the present, IIRC.

So Dune is right, Spice exists, and that's how we access other dimensions? WILD.
Something something all art is derivative.
Animals like drugs; it's not just humans. I remember watching birds get drunk on our pear tree as a kid. How true our assumptions are that they were stoned when these various concepts formed is another matter. There are a number of theories, but it's hard to "prove" and usually need to be looked at case by case. Often, there's no way to really tell.
We need to get stoned. In a controlled manner. For science!!
Or to attract mates ;)
Great, now the angels be boning. Look what you've done!
An Angel visited Mary and then she has a "virgin birth", what do you think happened?
Do not be afraid.
Donβt threaten me with a good time
This is a neat trick to get evangelicals to believe in evolution.
You mean it's canon among evangelicals that humans prey on angels?
So, uhm, who or what is an angel predator?
Someone or something that prays on angels.
Please do pray on them!
There's a reason why every encounter with an Angel starts with them saying "Do not be afraid."
Oh! Itβs like when youβre scared af but you gotta do it anyway, so you tell yourself βI can do this. Deep breaths. I can do this!β Itβs just angels calming themselves down. I get it.
There's always a bigger fish
I have never thought about the possibility of fried angel before
The answer I needed π
"Be not hungry... PLEASE be not hungry."
