*waves at Clavus*

Angels are definitely an interesting topic that I put into my HMMMM catagory of unexplained events that make me wonder about the nature of the cosmos.

There are just so many accounts of unexplained phenonema like this from all over the world throughout history, that I cannot just brush it off of mass hysteria, chemical inbalances, etc.

People have these experiences and suddenly possess tremendous peace and are extraordinarily calm at the thought of dying, as if they have gained special insite.

I myself have known several people who have had unexplained events in their lives and have even seen "something" they call angels.

So I think SOMETHING is going on, even if we don't know exactly what.

I do agree with Clavus that modern Christian/Islamic mythos does tell us that humans do not become angels upon death, but it doesn't say anything about whether or not our loved ones can look after us in the afterlife.
