this is something that has been a source of mild aggravation for a number of years. it's a religious problem. now fact is i'm agnostic after years of being forced to attend church after church and seeing the mass hypocrisy that is rife in nearly all religious sects i got fed up with the whole thing and said fuuuu on religion in general.
now on to my aggravation...angels.
i'm fucking sick and tired of people saying that we become angels when we die. this is not true angels were separate created beings, when we die we become heavenly creatures *bodies* but we do not become angels. where on earth did this silly notion come in to being?
now as to what brought this on...
a news snippet about a child dying in a local school.
this is something horrifying yes, and i'm sure the comment's were meant to be comforting to the grieving parents and families, but why propagate this myth? is it just ignorance or misinformation?
all it does is kinda piss me off, i guess i'm a horrible person for getting miffed about something like this but if you're gonna be religious get your facts straight. maybe try actually reading your bible.
religion is so contradictory. no one religion is right or perfect, get over yourselves.
sorry if this makes some on my flist angry, go ahead and defriend me if you wish.
myths,
religion,
angels,
