No thanks

I received this offer in the mail from a local card store. Not only do I get 20% off my purchase, but I get a free gift - this wonderful birthday angel pin. Apparently this "angel" has the ability to grant my birthday wishes and make them all come true.


Four things came to mind:

1. Aren't we supposed to worship and trust God, not angels?

2. Do people really like and believe this stuff? It seems like there's a whole industry cranking out tacky, cutesy, unbiblical angel paraphernalia.

3. This post by Dan Phillips -
"Artists' angels look as if they're about to say "Please, may I have another chocolate?" Real angels usually have to start out with saying, "Dude, dude — try not to die!"

4. This line from Angelz from Shai Linne's Solus Christus Project -
"and I don't resemble chubby babies with wings That's a lying replica"

Maybe I'll use the 20% off coupon, but I think I'll pass on the "angel".
