I don't believe in gods or angels. Any omnipotent, omnicient god that allowed entire galaxies to be sterilized by radiation from a central black hole (for which hard observational evidence exists), would really tax my power of belief in their "benevolence". Any such diety would best be understood as a creature out of HP Lovecraft's mythos.
However, I know many people that derive great comfort from their beliefs. None claim contact with angels, but one says she met and was rescued by the Virgin Mary when she was a child, wandering lost in the woods. And when someone is staring death in the face, one would be a fool to deny them what comfort they can get from faith.
As for the guy who sees angels all the time, he must have some really good drugs.
