Do you believe angels are amongst us?

[Haole Girl]

Please discuss.

[Ptah]

1. Angles follow me to my sleep.

[Haole Girl]

2. But, you can't go to sleep until you give us the answer to

that math problem in the other thread! Please?

[Ptah]

3. Is this enough?

[Broken_Hero]

4. yeah sure

they have to follow me around, and keep track of all my sins...I usually see them late at night, with their clipboards, paper, and pens...writing furiously! Cause I sin so much....just kiddin...:)

[Haole Girl]

5. HA!

[Guava Jelly]

6. Nope !

That song was popular when my mother passed away.
They played it at her funeral.
I have a hard time hearing that song without feeling sad.(Not just because it sucks)
I also refuse to believe in a god or an angel that would let my mother die so young.

[Haole Girl]

19. I'm so sorry

I didn't mean to make you sad. :hug:

[Guava Jelly]

20. Thats ok Its been almost 4 years now

And i can hear it now :)

[arwalden]

7. Do They Watch Us Masturbate?

:shrug:

[Guava Jelly]

8. god i hope not!

:rofl:

[Arugula Latte]

10. No, but Ceiling Cat does

[idgiehkt]

13. if you were an angel

what would you do?

[arwalden]

16. Help?

[idgiehkt]

32. lol! n/t

[Bucky]

27. They watch and, when you finish, they applaud

[arwalden]

36. They Aren't The Only Ones.

:thumbsup:

[TheMightyFavog]

9. Yes, there are..

And leading the fight against them is this organization:



The organization's top angel fighter is a whiny, chronically-depressed 14 year old Japanese kid named Shinji who desperatley needs to fucking get laid already.

[MiniMandaRuth]

12. The orginization of "I'm a bandwidth stealing fucktard"?

Wow. That's quite the organization.

[MiniMandaRuth]

11. Yes, in the form of Natalie Portman.

::sigh::



She is the ONE woman I would go lesbian for.

[Bucky]

55. I would have a sex change operation just to go lesbian with her

[elshiva]

14. YES!

[ZombieNixon]

15. I don't really believe in angels at all.

I find myself becoming more and more atheistic every day. :shrug:

[Haole Girl]

21. Oh Zombie

Many intelligent people do become atheists in college, and it is certainly your choice. I would feel so frightened about life and death, evil and good, if I didn't believe in God, though...and in miracles! :hug:

[ZombieNixon]

24. I don't deny the existence to the supernatural, though.

The "supernatural" is just nature that we can't understand yet. :)

[Whoa_Nelly]

29. I became an atheist about age 50...waaaay after college

Not fair to make a generalization about when people make choices about their belief systems.

Mine was pretty much a move toward becoming atheistic over many years. Went from belief to suspended belief to atheism.

I really enjoy simply being alive in the here and now, recognizing I'm a part of the infinite cosmos.

[Haole Girl]

34. I've known so many people who did become atheists in school...

I just sort of got that idea. Didn't mean to offend anybody, though...sorry.

[951-Riverside]

17. Nope.

Well maybe in Kentucky but in reality no.

[Benfea]

18. No

And furthermore, I find the whole notion of supernaturalism of any kind laughable.

[jobycom]

22. Not literally, but from a metaphorical standpoint the song works okay.

And I love Randy Owen's voice.

[Haole Girl]

23. BTW

I wasn't even thinking about the song when I asked this question. But that's ok..seems I'm very much in the minority anyway.

[Bucky]

25. At DU? Only CaliforniaPeggy.

[Haole Girl]

26. I did wonder...

...she seems like she could be! :)

[AirmensMom]

28. Yes.

But I can't prove it.

[Redstone]

30. Yes. They're the people who work in hospices.

Saints, they are.

Redstone

[leftofthedial]

31. Angel and Jesus are definitely among us

The Ramirez brothers. One's a killer percussionist and the other is a gifted mechanic.

[saltpoint]

41. And we need both for a sane world.

Hey there, leftofthedial.

Nice to see ya tonight on DU.

[leftofthedial]

43. how ya doing?

sorry I had to leave. I had a last-minute call for a gig. Money for music. Not exactly mailbox money, but it's the next-best thing.

[saltpoint]

45. Fair to midlin for me these days, except I'm excited about the

party's chances in November.

A lot of folks are watching Colorado. Lots of talk about Denver as the Dems' convention site in 08.

I like the idea a lot.

[leftofthedial]

48. there is much excitement here too

both about November and about the convention

(he said cautiously as he pushed the touchscreen buttons on the voting machine...)

[saltpoint]

49. Well, yeah. But that excitement is pretty strong compared to other

years.

In Ohio, one of the key Diebold states, Ken Blackwell is something like 8 million points behind Strickland.

I'm not sure even the most dastardly Diebold system can undo a lead like Strickland's at this point.

Fairly early in the evening on Nov. 7th we'll get an idea of how things are going with those early precincts from Ohio. If Strickland defeats Kenneth "I Am Diebold" Blackwell, it could be a very happy night for the blue team.

And especially in your neck of the woods.

Hope that music gig went well. All good wishes.

[leftofthedial]

50. back at ya!

:toast:

[pitohui]

33. not any more

if they ever did, they sure fell down on the job and have a lot of explaining to do

as we say down here in louisiana, we're on our own

[Joey Liberal]

35. Yes

Hard to explain, but I do believe in angels.

[femmocrat]

37. This probably sounds weird, but....

I think our family members who have passed away help to protect us. I know there was an "angel" with my son when he had a bad car accident a couple of years ago. The car was totalled, and he didn't have a scratch on him. Maybe it was good luck, good engineering, or the intervention of a good soul. There is much we do not know.

[Kajsa]

38. Yes, I do.

I can't explain why, I just know they are there, sometimes.
Some call them spirits, some call them angels. I've felt this
way for a long time.

Then---Carlos Santana, who is an angel in his own right, comes along
with Sacred Fire and substantiates( for me) what I have felt all along, i.e.
that " there are angels all around us"( in Spanish and English). Yeah! ;-)

Oh, California Peggy is an angel, too.

Yep, Carlos is right, they are here among us.

Thanks for posting this, KC2.
You're not alone.

( and I love sea turtles, too!! )Honu!

:hi:

[Haole Girl]

42. Thank you, Kajsa

It's nice to feel understood! :pals:

[lost-in-nj]

39. And I believe that angels breath

and love will never die




YES!


lost

[saltpoint]

40. I think there are two kinds of angels.

One is the metaphoric kind, when the painter or poet needs an agent of message or change or pronouncement, and invokes a figure of an angel to do the deliverin'. Like Hermes or like St. Michael, or any anonymous herald-type figure.

The other is cowboy angels. I know this because Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris told me so, when they sang:

"Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels..."

--from the tune "Grievous Angel."

And if Gram and Emmylou say they're there, they're by god THERE.

[wildhorses]

44. yes. and while I'm at it...

I believe I'll have another beer:beer:

[quiet.american]

46. Definitely. n/t

[Scooter24]

47. Absolutely!

I wake up next to one every morning. My wonderful boyfriend :loveya:

[Midlodemocrat]

51. Yes.

[lizziegrace]

52. I do too

:)

[wildhorses]

53. John Prine said so...and Bonnie sings about her...she comes

from Montgomery:

[PassingFair]

54. Dead people with wings?

Uh...no.

[mvd]

56. I'm not sure in the traditional sense

I'm much more of a spiritual person than religious, but I believe in an afterlife - and if people were angelic in life, why not then.

[Evoman]

57. If you mean people called Angel...then yes.

If you mean the things with wings that don't exist...then no.

[Fleshdancer]

58. I believe in angels on earth....

This is what I think hospice workers are. I'm sure there are other examples but I'm tired and it's late and I know other DUers will come up with other examples. :)

[Haole Girl]

59. Whew! This is a relief! I only had to go back 9 pages...

to make sure I spelled angels correctly!!

:crazy:
