If an angel appears before you in human form, they come bearing good news. If they appear before you in their true form, they come bearing responsibility.

[–] werefreeatlast 4 points 9 months ago

Fuck that I'm carrying a helo just in case. Toss on the meatball with wings at first sight. I need me some good news.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Angels came to Lot in human form. They told him to GTFO of the city. Things happen, and his wife ends up a pillar of salt.

This is also when a crowd gathered up outside his house wanting to rape his guests, and Lot's response was to offer his daughters to be raped instead. This demonstrates that Lot showed proper hospitality to his guests, or something.

Straight up description of an entity thousands report seeing while on DMT tho.

[–] afraid_of_zombies 30 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

Which indicates that it is

  1. A failure state the human brain goes into. Like how certain optical illusions work on nearly everyone

  2. Humans build narratives off senses. If there is already a cultural narrative and you have weird data will put it in there. You got a round peg and your culture gave you a round hole.

  3. A physical chemical allows you to outwit infinitely powerful infinitely higher beings and they are powerless to stop it.

3 doesn't seem very likely.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Where does outwitting come into the equation in the first place? By all accounts, the interaction is reported as being entirely consensual.

[–] afraid_of_zombies 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Because they choose to be invisible.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Where'd you get that idea?

[–] afraid_of_zombies 8 points 9 months ago (16 children)

Inference. Being invisible to us and complex is going to take a lot of effort to deceive us. You can't see with an invisible eye. You can't avoid sinking into the core of the earth unless you have some density, which makes you wonder why we never see their footprints. So if all our senses and technology has failed to find them they must be actively working towards that goal.

[–] whostosay 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How hard to animals try to use camouflage? Maybe it's just a natural state.

[–] afraid_of_zombies 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

As I point out it doesn't end there. Even if somehow some way humans just naturally couldn't see them we have other senses we have other sensing technology we have inference. Mud and dust that show no footprints, radio site surveys that show no interference, radar, infrared, lidar..A lot of this stuff you can see for yourself

Heck how do they pass thru buildings to get in and out with density? Would we not all notice random doors and windows opening and closing? How many secure sites on earth where you need to badge in to a every room.

Inre #3 I dunno the god I worship is outwitted by butter.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How would seeing them outwit them?

[–] afraid_of_zombies 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They choose to be invisible, you choose to make them visible.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Does that mean outsmart everything you see in a telescope, or a magnifying glass?

Are we outsmarting birds every time we go bird watching?

[–] afraid_of_zombies 5 points 9 months ago

Are birds watching our minds and suppressing out ability to see them? Are they making sure that they are never recorded by every single camera and instrument?

Look this has been fun but you can drop the gag now. You don't really believe in shadow beings. That are all-powerful all-knowing and will only talk to you when you put a hallucinating producing chemical in yourself. It is just so much freaken easier to understand that humans, a super social species, will imagine talking things when their brain is busted for a little while. Compared to Uber-beings who roll nat-20s on every stealth check.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (2 children)

This is a good angel to support the theory that angels are actually misunderstood four-spatial-dimensional beings who survived the universe collapsing to three spatial dimensions.

[–] samus12345 9 points 9 months ago

This is a good angel

Interesting time for that particular typo.

[–] afraid_of_zombies 2 points 9 months ago

"theory", this is not.

[–] afraid_of_zombies 13 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Bible: Angels visit earth and have consensual relations with human women. Angels also visit Abe and Sarah appearing to be humans. Angels visit Lot and appear to be human.

Also Bible: be not afraid of me despite being a lovecraftian nightmare!

Can't even keep their lies straight

[–] Jomega 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Seraphim are only one type of angel. The Cherubim are perfectly fuckable if you're into the whole four heads thing.

[–] afraid_of_zombies 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if they have four of other body parts. In which case it could really work out well for you.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Four heads wouldn't be terrible either. Just picture a very NSFW game of ring around the rosie.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How do you even have relations with the pictured entity?

[–] afraid_of_zombies 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Lots of lube and closing your eyes and think of England.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

For king and country

"You ask too much of him"

"Child, I was not asking"

[–] RIP_Cheems 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Why do you think said "be not afraid" and not " Please do not be afraid"?

[–] NoSpiritAnimal 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I was agreeing with you.

It helps to be tripping absolute balls on mushrooms, peyote, or other hallucinogens. Well "helps" in the sense that while the angel will seem normal, ordinary rocks will now terrify you.

[–] Hellnikko 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's where the burning bush comes in.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 3 points 9 months ago

I've got an ointment what should help with that

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It's like the Make Cygnus level of Katamari Damacy

[–] iAvicenna 5 points 9 months ago

Okay pees a little

[–] reagansrottencorpse 5 points 9 months ago

This feels like it could be a panel from Preacher

[–] aarRJaay 3 points 9 months ago

Always makes me laugh when at kids nativities they have a sweet little girl in a white dress saying meekly "Don't be afraid". Tough shepherds would take a LOT to freak out!
