I referenced the pope's alleged authority in my comparison to your armchair posturing, Drich. It seems that in your desire to scramble for the illusionary high ground, you're the one who missed the bigger picture. From your divided positions, both you and pope-eye are discussing the nature of mythical creatures as fact. Neither of you has any substance on which to base your statements. He, as you point out, is citing church tradition; you are citing a book. We could swap the two of you over and your arguments would still be indistinguishable. Until the basic minimum foundation is put in place, ie demonstrate that angels are an actual thing, everything else is window dressing.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
