Why did you have to look around? If you saw it clearly in front of your eyes, you must have seen where it went.

"I'm going to tell all the atheists about my angel experience and they'll all believe!"
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

The spirit had wings, it certainly wasn't a Flying Spaghetti Monster, It wasn't a weird looking Flying Giant Rat; It was a creature beyond our imagination. This is my true description of the Angel I saw, and in the Book of Daniel He gives the same encounter.
You must have a pretty limited imagination, if you believe that your mind could not have come up with this image.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Okay, this statement sounds like you just added an extra, unnecessary bullshit detail to an already bullshit story. Am I getting close?
Well I only read like around 60 pages from the book, still haven't finished it, but i was convinced that all religion were bullshit and was created by men, also the concept of God was irrational and we only use it to measure our pain. I believe all this was true, then days past by and the experience occurred... maybe its just a coincidence.

Wings, really? This is so a projection of the pop culture conception of angels.

He vanished out of the blue. I looked around because I thought maybe he will come back again. then i realized that this how he travels around, he could either uses his wings if he was outside, and if he was inside, he could just vanish into thin air.

Quote: The moral of the story, is that faith plays a big role in shaping our lives,
That's not a moral. That's a warning. Guard against it. Faith is bullshit.

I noticed the wings because it was visible, the wings stands out in the clear. You might be right, all people who claim they saw an angel, they say he had wings. I am also aware of the claims that some people think of the Angels are cute, or have a human like body, or can take a form of any human.
I saw something sparkle and huge, i couldn't count the number of wings, but it was more than 4.

This is my last response to this ridiculous thread.
If you really want to do some research into the most likely explanation for your experience, there is plenty of info out there.
If you want to continue to believe your misinterpreted hypnagogic hallucinations, carry on.
Just know, that if you hear people claim they are abducted by aliens in the night, you have zero basis to doubt their claims.
