I don't know. I wasn't forcing anything on anybody.
I know, I know. It's just that from past experiences, I've seen that religious discussions on a forum can turn ugly no matter how diplomatic anyone is. I didn't mean any harm by it, mate.

No problems, I don't tend to ever feel offended. Everyone has their own thoughts and opinions. Being that I believe in "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," I accept their thoughts and 'shake off the dust of my feet' in the event we reach a stalemate (so to speak).
I believe in a pre-mortal existence where we knew God and were and still are his children, and 1/3 of those in the pre-existence followed satans plan (he wanted all the glory, he wanted us to come to earth and not have agency or free will, so we would all return to our heavenly father without ever making our own choices) God's plan was to send us to the earth with a purpose, this purpose is to be tested, a veil was put over us to make it so we do not remember the pre-existence, and Christ was chosen as our savior who would be the key in the plan of salvation. All of us who are and ever have been on the earth chose God's plan, the other one third never recieved bodies and now seek to make all mankind miserable as they are.
So in short yes I do believe in angels and that if we are righteous we can become like God.
Theres a couple problems there, Satan wants us to have choice so we can choose to do wrong things, if we didn't have choice but were put here for God's purpose, like we are now but with choice, we would fufill it indefinetly, and no we can't become like God because no one can be perfect, but I guess you could take it like we can be good but not perfect like God
But to answer the question I believe in angels

"Can't you all see Diablo is just pubescent? He's not evil he's just a teenager!"
"Then how do you explain all the dead people?"
"Uhh they were accidents!"
"Oh ok we thought it was because he was a Prime Evil, oh well good day to ya"
Why would god make his most trusted servants in our image? Too redundant, therefore no. And besides, they are known as celestial creatures in the holy bible. Any celestial being cannot be defined by boundaries of physical forms.

According to the Bible, angels were created first, so no they're not created in a human's image.
I picked "what the hell kinda question is this " because I am not religious and personally do not believe in any personal savior around you at all times.
Yes, but not the savior spirit entity commonly depicted in religion. I take the idea and apply it to more personality based ideas, rather than the to the unknown and yet to be proved (or disproved.)
I do, especially if they look like that first picture... WoWza!

i had a conversation/arguement with a co-worker the other day about religion... hes very pro christianity etc and was like why dont u have a religion... i was like "because its bullshit" and "it is false hope because im just another animal on this planet... i live breed and die and we have been doing it for thousands of years" and noted that mainly religions and gods were created to explain the unexplainable (at the time) so for me religion is a waste of my time with no point.... and he got all mad at me and was like thats a grim o utlook on life and you must live a hollow life etc... i was came back and said that im happier than ive ever been... i plan to have the best time i possibly can while im alive because nothing is guaranteed adn the way i see it i only have like 80 years left (im 19 now and figure that by the time i get to that age the average human will live that long) and i plan on having the best fucking time i can while im here... fuck bad bitches smoke big blunts and get drunk at parties adn have fun... only living once and might as well have fun
The one thing I do not get about all of these religions, is that we all kind of worship the same god. We just have different views of this major being in a way. I wonder why people can not see this and see what they have been doing.

because people are stupid and dont realize this... they think that their beliefs are the correct beliefs and that god will honor them
Why is faith something that can be defined as stupid? Can you define faith as stupid without inserting your own opinion? Either you know everything that exists, have seen the ends of the universe and are not held by the bonds that are human flaws and have lived for millions of years or you are narrow minded and presume you already know the truth about everything. When in your mind it may very well be the truth, but whether or not it is is not something that can be discovered with science and it never will. This debate will go on and on because a scientist will never have the technology to prove that a god didn't put us here and of course religious people will never convince all the skeptics.

I believed in angels when I was 12. Now the thought of people believing in them is just amusing. Especially when you hear them give an actual recount of it. By the time their finished talking about their experience, the fact that humans and apes evolved from the same creature, starts to really hit a deep cord with you.

not that religions are stupid... that the people following them are too stupid to realize that they are all worshiping the same god... dont get it twisted... nothing against u and ur crackpot religion

But saying that makes you ignorant firstly because you dont know anything about my religion, and saying that the very large percent of people that have a faith are all unintelligent. even Einstein supported the idea of intelligent design. Limiting yourself to one belief is narrow minded. atheism is a belief and thats all you accept, no matter what someone introduced to you you would ignore it because it isn't what you think is truth

and agnostics may choose maybe
"to the worm in horseradish, the world is horseradish."
Choice aside, I thought that the option "maybe" detracted from the word "belief." Maybe that's due to my interpretation of the word.
