bluewizard Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 My religious studies professor told our class he had an encounter with an angel today in class. He said he didn't want to tell too much or he might get in trouble with God so some "encounter" he had dealt with some type of angel but I'm curious as to how this occured. Probably an NDE or something but I'd really like to hear more of his story. Why do people really think they encountered angels? He's pretty open about all religions and beliefs but it's not every day I hear of people say they've encountered angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwc Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Maybe "angel" is a euphemism he uses for "pre-teen sex?" Pervert. mwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewizard Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 LOL, it's a public university by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hhhm don't know. I think some people like attention and make stories up, while there might be others that somehow really think they saw an angel. I think though if someone really saw an angel that they would be totally freaked out and telling people about it. Just my thoughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callyn Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 LOL, it's a public university by the way. But it's a university, and a religious studies class. Evangelizing is legal. It's probably similar to people who think they were abducted by aliens, Sleep Paralysis. A NDE is also a likely candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I think sometimes people see things and they automatically assign whatever they are familiar with to their experience. Note that it's almost always something they consider good. A Christian would see an angel. A UFO buff would see an alien. It all depends on the person, but that doesn't mean that was what it actually was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why even intelligent people can con themselves into believing flaud religious systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
