Christian Discussion Thread VIII: Augustine's Revenge.

[Thermodolia]

Key words being on the regular. They didn't interfere with humans daily only when god needed for something to happen or be made known. Being approached by an angel isn't a every day experience, it's a once maybe twice in a lifetime experience

Unless you are somehow lucky enough to be a prophet, and given the description of angels being the stuff of nightmares consider yourselves lucky to not be one. If any being has to tell someone "be not afraid" it might not be because of said person being in awe.

Ya that's another reason

I mean if you saw something that looked like this most people might just run.

I wouldn't exactly call them the stuff of nightmare given the number of times they've appeared as humn form. I think the reality is their existence is so much higher on the cosmological scale that seeing one's true form is enough to snap your brain in half.

Part of me says I'd just stand there and be like, ".........................." trying to fumble for words, but part of me also says I'd probably either pass-out or try to run for it.

Interesting responses to the hypothetical presence of an angel right in front of them. Nobody going to kneel down in adulation? No rending of garments?

I'm pretty sure that my garments would need to be laundered

No rending of garments, I tend to walk without pants anyway.

Also, angels are not my type, so no worries there.

You've obviously never been given a knee to the balls by an angel.

God protected me from them.

That must have been a eunuch experience.

"REND YOUR GARMENTS YOU SHEEP."
"...What if I told you I didn't have to?"
"And why is that?"
"I'm not wearing pants...or a shirt..."
"..."
"I'm a sheep, what do you expect? YES I SHALL TEAR OFF MY WOOL SO YOU CAN MAKE A SWEATER FROM IT. LIKE YOU DON'T DO THAT ENOUGH ALREADY."
"I think we should leave..." *Pharisees leave.*
"WE SHALL BRING THE NEW REVOLUTION. YOU'LL SEE. YOU'LL ALL SEE. NO MORE WOOL SWEATERS!!!!"

Let's make sweaters out of angels' wings.

"Daniel, listen to me. I am the Archangel Gabriel and I have a very important prophecy for you...aaaaaand he passed-out."
*Helps Daniel up.* "There. You good?"
"...I think so."
"Alright. So, I have come from God to tell you...OH COME ON."

"Gabriel, I must take your wings to make a weater, since the Holy Lamb of Blaatschapen forbids me from taking wool from sheep to make sweaters."
