Religious Jews will pray 3 times a day and at the end will bow in 3 different directions, one to Michael, one to Gabriel, and then straight ahead (God). On Friday night, when the husband arrives home from evening service, the family sings a song to welcome the pair of angels that followed him home and then to send them away. On preperation for repentance, there are a series of poems (Kinot), and one of them directly asks an angel to deliver a message to God, and the Rambam criticised such a thing, but it is still in the collection of prayers (granted, a few communities omit it, but only out of deference to the Rambam). And, of course (based on the book of Daniel), when two nations are fighting, the belief that it is an expression of their angesl who are fighting, since each nation has it's own angel.

For demons, religious Jews will wash their hands first thing in the morning because Dybbuks reside under the fingernails (tiny demons). Feminist Jewsesses have accepted Lilith as a symbol of their plight, who is the mother of demons (as a result of wanting to have the dominant sexual position with Adam). The last recorded exorcism was by the Chofetz Chaim, but the idea of posession is not unheard of. And, of course, the Babylonian Talmud is full of ghosts, and demons (especially those who dwell in the latrines and ruins), and many students of those texts have taken them to be lieterally true and, therefore, unquestioned in their authenticity.

Yeah, people love this Angel and Demon stuff. I don't think it matters which religion.

Good v. Evil is the cornerstone of every book, novel, movie, etc

So this means that there are no born again men on Earth.

He better get a move on then - he's been promising that for how many thousands of years now? Still no Judgment Day.

Angels guide me while I go out and get a Sonic milkshake. The cashier makes more sense than you do.

Jerusalme is vastly overrated. Plastic crosses from china and angry orthodox abrahamic bollocks.

People I know, who went there told me Tel Avic had the better attractions

My mother and my sister both particularly enjoyed the Dead Sea. I never went there on a birth right trip. I wish someone would pay me to go to Ireland instead.

Mmmmm...Irish. There's a people who know what they're doing.
