Angels (a primer)
She may look like an angel
but those wings are painted on
and the look of rapture on her face
is directly attributable to the amount
of meth she's smoked

Besides, angels were painted
with wings by renaissance artists
to symbolize their divine pedigree, not because they had wings or swarmed around God's head like gnats.

Only those who think Satan has
a tail and carries a pitchfork believe
angels have wings. The truth is, angels are
endowed with so much power that the ability to fly is laughable.

Angels are significantly more
powerful than the watered-down,
generic version we were sold as children:
One angel slew an entire army as they slept,
One damned angel.

Angels are frightening, dangerous
and alien creatures that can kill with a
glance and fly if they must without relying
upon wings to accomplish that goal. Angels
are beyond wings.

Angels are one-hundred feet tall,
angels are encircled by snakes of cosmic energy, angels vomit flames and carry rusty swords, battered shields, battle-axes and huge
war-hammers.

The Devil created cartoon-angels
so that humans would stop believing in
them, just as he created cartoon devils so
that humans would stop fearing them and
avoiding evil.


Angels don't have wings and
Heaven was not built to accomodate everyone and God won't help you win the lottery and the world wasn't created in seven
goddam days.

There's a good reason why the first
thing angels say when they encounter a
human is: "Fear not!" A winged and robed teen with blonde hair and a harp does not elicit fear, angels do.


( If you want to believe in angels, believe in angels and if you don't, don't but don't try to minimalize or ridicule them due to your lack of faith, your ignorance and your disbelief.)
