Personal Angel of Death?
#1
Personal Angel of Death?
Came up with this thought after watching an old Twilight Zone. In the episode there was an old woman who was convinced that the angel of death/grim reaper was after her. Her solution was to barricade herself in her home and not let death in. She was fooled by death (Robert Redford) pretending to be a victim of violence to get in for help.

I googled religious beliefs and, according to the sites I visited, found that most religions have an angel of death entity. Not all are personal.

OK believers and non believers, I pose the following questions., mostly for believers. 

Do you believe in a personal angel of death (PAOD)?

If there is a PAOD would you be able to recognize/perceive it?

If knowing your death was near (old age, health, war, .....) would you try to hide?

Would you question your death (why me, why now)?

Would you try to barter for continued existence?

For the non believers, if convinced that this was your PAOD, would you convert?

Don't expect this thread to go to far. Some of the questions seem childish but I'm asking anyway. Just my random brain musings.

Thanks.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
