Demons are smarter, funnier, and overall better than angels. Why God would choose the angels to serve him rather than the demons, I'll never know.

Unless one has mastered mind over matter. If I don't mind, it does not matter.

It depends upon how you are picturing angels. The original characterization of angels, as in Ezekiel, was rather different from Disneyesque angels.

Someone should make a movie/documentary about all the people who had a close calls with death and stated on camera “god saved me because he has a plan for me”.

Like to see how that plan has turned out.

But of course they will just say that god’s hasn’t gotten around to my plan yet.

It isn’t that God didn’t choose demons to serve him, it’s that demons either opted not to serve God or unable to do so - which one depends chiefly on your favourite brand of demonology. If demons are fallen angels, they made a choice not to serve God. If demons are a breed apart, then they are inherently evil and could not serve an all-good God.

I believe in Karma...

...and Ziggy, and Quinn, and Blue, and Chewy, and Zeus.

Those are the animals I believe in and support.

Life does not begin at conception. Unless the sperm and egg are lifeless and some kind of abiogenesis occurs in the womb. It's not NEW life and no variations in DNA are not NEW life either. Unless you are willing to say cancer is NEW life and a perfect clone would not be. If it came from already living materials it's not NEW life. This line of logic makes little sense.

In my rural town there is a Bible quote painted on the side of an outbuilding that says "You shall have no other gods before me  --Cod" The part of the "G" had weathered away and they never repainted it, so "Cod" it is!
