To ask if you believe in angels

[Lovebendicks]

Thought about this when reading another thread & just wondered what people thought. I do believe in angels but have never seen one.....

No I don't - why on earth would you??

No. I don't believe in Father Christmas or the Tooth Fairy, either.

if you mean the things that are meant to float about with wings and play harps looking after 'heaven'

then no i don't

Nope, nor do I believe in ghosts, spirits or anything similar.

Why would you believe in something you have never seen any evidence of?

Don't be silly.... I'm sure some people find it comforting to believe that they are not alone and that some heavenly creature is looking out for them, and I'm sure that they can fit what they see around them to match this fantasy and that you'll get lots of lovely stories offered as 'proof'. If you've never seen one, the reason is very simple i.e. they don't exist.

No

No, but I am an atheist so it would be a bit weird if I did. Although thinking about it I was brought up a Catholic and I don't think I've ever believed in angels as anything literal.

No

Reason I believe is I sometimes get a feeling I will watch this thread with interest

Of course they exist!

But you have to call on them for their help because they always respect your free will.

We all have a guardian angel anyway, whether you believe in it or not.

Just google Lorna Byrne or Doreen Virtue.....

(Oh, and they don't care what religion you follow, even atheism )...

Do you mean an angel like a dead loved one watching over you? Or one of the fiery sword wielding/news-bringing biblical ones?

No in either case though.

I have never seen a dinasour except on telly so does that mean it never existed? I don't believe in angels but I do believe in ghosts as I shared a flat with on eonce. I don't think us humans are aware of half of what this world is about.

Ummmmm. Well, I sometimes get feelings too but.... Sorry, can you be more specific about what leads you to believe in them?

Each to their own of course. If it makes you happy, then why not?

i've never seen a dinosaur either, but i've seen fossils

never seen a discarded harp/sword/trumpet..............

I believe.

I get a 'feeling' that I'm going to win the lottery each week. Means fuck all. And @toptramp, the dinosaur example is ridiculous. We have shedloads of old dinosaur shaped bones to have a look at.

Angels are a fabrication that weak-minded people use to cling to.

I forgot this was AIBU and was going to suggest not to insult peoples beliefs.
Then I remembered where I am.
OP, if you get comfort from your feelings and beliefs, and they hurt nobody, go ahead and believe.

We have heaps of angel sculptures to look at too! I don't know if angels exist but i do believe in ghosts. i lived with one once. My flat had a definate present. As soon as my friend came round for tea first time in my flat she said it's haunted. The air was electric and you could cut it with a knife but not malevolent. Then at work a couple of months later a colleague asked me where I work and when I told her she said ''oh so and so (other colleague) used to live there. It's haunted. She saw a man walk through a wall.'' Brings up goose bumps even now.
I have never seen ectoplasm or discareded sheets but I do believe that the flat was haunted. I'd much rather live with the evil dead than the evil living though as my flatmates before were so awful!
I do believe that there are different planes of existence and the sixth sense. A few days before my grandad died he appeared in a vision to my cousin.I cannot prove it but I do believe in it. I don't believe in leprechauns and elves though! I do draw the line somewhere.

presence even.

where I live even. Not with it today!

i believe. have no reason to, and certainly no proof, but i still do.
