Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.
- Staight up doomer/doomer-trolling comments will be removed. Reasonable disscustion and asking for hope is fine.

Angels are dead women? Dafuq?
Can you cite where it says that? Because I'm 99% sure it never does.
Got it, so you don't have a citation, because it doesn't say what you think it says.
Literally nowhere does it say that angels are people. You're making this up. Just accept that you're wrong.
And for the record, I'm not Christian - I just have basic literacy in their lore.
My guy, I literally told you that I'm not Christian. I don't believe in angels, or gods, or any of that stuff.
You said a simple thing: the bible states that angels are dead women. Yet you can't show a citation for it saying that. I don't have to believe in any of that Bible stuff to tell you "no, it doesn't say that".
You sound like you have actual problems though. Have you considered talking to a specialist? Something ain't right.
I think you seriously have mental issues, because you're either incapable of understanding that I'm not Christian in any way, or you're having some kind of episode. Seriously, seek help.
When you become an adult, you'll look back on this edgy, shitlord nihilism, and realize how stupid it sounds.
I'm not shitting on you, we were all there once.
It gets better, but you have to make an effort.
I actually really like this summary which goes through all the references in detail. It raises one great point in particular, even if you don't want to get into the linguistics of gender in Greek (which also disagree with you unfortunately). The only two named angels in the Bible are Michael and Gabriel, both of which are male. The rest of it is a fascinating look at angelology in the Bible though (which has been a big hobby of mine since converting to gnosticism. Its wild knowing more about the Bible now that the catholic church thinks I'm a witch). I actually found this while looking up the Matthew verse though which this breakdown implies doesn't mention gender but I would argue that it does. It says neither married nor given in marriage which is a distinctly gendered aspect in that cultural milieu. I do wonder if you're maybe thinking of similar figures from other religions such as the Nordic Valkyries or Islamic Houri.
Where in the Bible does it state that Angels are dead women?
Give up, you sound stupid. Quit, now.
Edit: After looking at your posting history, you're a Right Wing troll.
Goodbye. It's not a good luck. Go outside, and meet a nice girl/boy. Good luck
Thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for cleaning this up, mod.
