Heroes don't all wear capes : hopeposting

I first read "horses don't all wear capes" and was very confused. I mean, they wear blankets, but rarely capes

Wasn't Superman's cape made from the blanket he was swaddled in?

Hm... coincidentally I've never seen him resist a cube of sugar

Or a carrot. Supes would rob his own mom for a fresh carrot.

When you reach middle age, you begin to realize that just a single act of kindness can have a cascading effect of good things.

And the opposite can literally ruin your social life.

Be kind. Be respectful. If you see an opportunity to do something kind for a complete stranger, do so, without expectation of reward.

It's worth it.

Angels are dead women? Dafuq?

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.
