"Did you ever notice how in the Bible, whenever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, he sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence spent praising your God, but always with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?" -Thomas Daggett, the Prophecy
And something out there preys on them?!
Probably some ancient human with power armor or a flying aircraft. There's not too much to think about when picturing angels
Realizing angels and God are evil is what made me come to the conclusion it's all a lie and leave Islam.
the ever present fact that satan punishes evildoers, yet he's called evil
Excrucians!
I have never thought about the possibility of fried angel before
The answer I needed 📔
The implication being that this isn't your first thought on eating angels.
Been watching Hasbin Hotel? They have that whole Surprisingly hopeful song that veers into them.
Charlie tries so hard.
Si it was the orphanim?*
If only autocorrect would evolve.
There's a reason why every encounter with an Angel starts with them saying "Do not be afraid."
Oh! It’s like when you’re scared af but you gotta do it anyway, so you tell yourself “I can do this. Deep breaths. I can do this!” It’s just angels calming themselves down. I get it.
This is a neat trick to get evangelicals to believe in evolution.
You mean it's canon among evangelicals that humans prey on angels?
"Be not hungry... PLEASE be not hungry."
Ok wanna hear my theory on angels?
First, this presumes all accounts are true, so if you can't get by that, stop here.
The people on record of having seen angels describe them as having "wings" and "eyes", however as these people were very likely agricultural in nature (farmers, herders, etc.) they may have simply described what they saw with the closest analogies they had. What they actually saw could have been something much different, but so far beyond their experience that they couldn't describe them any other way.
Hypothesis: angels are actually higher dimensional beings that exist in more than 3 dimensions, and intersect part of their being to our 3 dimensions in order to interact with us. "Wings" and "eyes", along with "wheels within wheels" could be undulations, harmonics, ripples, echoes, sympathetic frequencies of their actual presence that we interpret as best we can. It's like when the sphere visits Flatland, we are seeing multidimensional cross sections of them, which give them such an otherworldly appearance.
Their appearance is pretty consistent into the present, IIRC.

That's partly what my novel is about. I'd list it, but I've changed my writing style to make it more accessible, and I plan to make a 2nd edition soon that hopefully my relatives can read. English isn't their first language.
I prefer Nope's version of angel lore.
There's always a bigger fish
So, uhm, who or what is an angel predator?
Someone or something that prays on angels.
Please do pray on them!
If it's intimidating to us... are we the predators?
Why else would the descriptions of angels largely end as humanity exploded in population? just like with aliens, we fucking ate them all
There's always a bigger fish.
