I have heard of this before but on a worse scale. If you type into YouTube "africa's witch children"; It's a horrible documentary on the evangelical community that has managed to convince the locals that some of their children are witches. So their parents burn them, lock them up, send them to...

Lol, that could apply to all religion. If you look at it all from an atheistic point of view, the whole concept of religion is people dwelling in mystery, filling a gap in order to feel safer and as if their life has more importance than other animals on the planet. People BELIEVE in angels...

Without the need for drugs or alcohol. Like when someone is at a dying relatives bedside and they suddenly feel like there is a protective presence in the room-I believe PRESENCE was the word I missed out. I'm talking about situations where people aren't medically insane, intoxicated...

Just a random... When scrolling down on the main forum page and seeing who is currently online, what does the little cross next to a persons name mean?? Does it mean they are currently typing/responding??

I guess our experience of an angel depends on our own personal interpretation of it. The common denominator seems to be a protective feel, sudden feelings of elation in times of great unhappiness. Those feelings generally seem to sum up an angelic experience of sorts. So angelic experiences...

Lol, I know. You really think I'd take him seriously?? I thought the winking smiley indicated I had deduced that butit'shard to convey emotions online lol

Could you tell me why you think that the Bible is the first source to account for angels?? Any dates to say that this was the first? In fact, with some brief research on the internet, the earliest references to angels are from the Sumerians in 3000BC - before the Bible was written. There are...

Have you just implied that I was a man in a previous life?? :o lol Nature still brought it crumbling down? The whole ancient Egyptian empire? Or their buildings?? Pretty impressive that they're still standing - as are Roman buildings.... have you seen the Roman Forum?? Pretty cool.

I don't think the Bible is the best authority. I think the best authority is people who experience angels; those who feel the feelings, whether it be smell, touch, light, emotion. They are the ones who attribute that to being an angelic experience. They define the common opinion that angels are...

I don't think he was, sweetheart ;)

Yeah, I wasn't necessarily implying they exist. I am becoming more and more convinced that religion and all it's concepts were simply created because we need to feel like there's someone watching us. Sometimes, people need that thought to keep themselves going. I think I was disputing whether...

Fake interfaith?? Err.. no. Although I did have problems logging in a minute ago. Then I realised I was trying to log into the wrong site. Lmao!!

Could you explain how this would apply to pantheistic faiths?? For example, in Britain, before Christianity became all the rage, there was paganism. Or does this statement only apply to monotheistic??

Firstly, Dream.... that avatar is ameeeeaazin!! lol... love those dogs. Second, lol @ the My Hero thing. We had an Irish guy over here play him. Stephen Fry is good at playing stereotypical posh English gentlemen :p

Lmao!! Clogs eh?? Are you in Holland :p

I wasn't quite referring to Lucifer and his 'demons'. It was more about angels from a neutral perspective... sort of looking at them as neither good nor evil kind of thing... :D

I find the Egyptian side very appealing. I would love to find out more about their practices but there's little in the wa of Egyptian magic. I have a book on their mythology and the Tomb of Tutenkhamun. I loved Egypt since I was little... it intrigued me for some unknown reason.

No he's not in House, that's Hugh Laurie. Very good incidentally. I think he is a bit like marmite. You either like him or hate him. I think he did Jeeves & Wooster, and he was Jeeves. lol

Yeah that was quite impressive!! :D

He is a funny guy... and exceptionally intelligent. Have you seen Blackadder by any chance?? And the program I believe you are referring to is QI... misleading title I know :p
