Showing posts with the label angels

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".
