Angels For Those Who Don't Believe

[Nope]

According to the title of the article, this was written for atheists and agnostics.

The writer uses her very young child's dream of three angels as proof that god exists. There is the required passive aggressive swipe at the atheists she is trying to reach.

And yet there are others whose withered souls fear those deep waters, so they build blind barriers of protection that keep them safe and buoyant while floating atop the unknown. They too, must yearn for understanding and search in secret...

The comments after the article were interesting.  A few Christians wanted to know why atheists responded if they couldn't be more positive about the existence of angels. The theists didn't seem to realize that the article was "For Those Who Don't Believe."  Also, a lot of theists ignored the writers' rather rude comment about nonbelievers' withered souls while getting upset that the atheists commenters weren't thrilled with the article. 

I thought it would be an interesting article to discuss .  The writer, by the way, does not believe her child had a dream about angels but that she really saw three white, transparent people in her room late at night. 

My daughter has been told countless times, how her Father in Heaven loves and cherishes His beloved children. Much of her life has been immersed in learning of His Grace and His Glory. I have shared precious details of His Hand guiding every step of her glorious and miraculous journey. She has grown to believe.

And now she has seen His Angels...

It is weird that the mother thought this was credible evidence for the existence of god that she wrote a public article about her child's dream. Maybe she is going to convince her daughter to write a book

That's a pretty good description of theists, actually.

This quote sounds like the kind of thing you would read in a fantasy book like Game of thrones. Maybe something the red witch would say before burning people at the stake for The Lord of light. These people are so deluded, so out of touch with reality, it's horrible.

Dumb cunt doesn't realize that her precious daughter has figured out that telling stories of angels earns a pat on the head and freshly baked cookies. 

I also wouldn't put it past this Carter person to have concocted the entire story. What passes for Jesus street cred with these imbeciles is vomit inducing.

Blithering idiots.

To me, trying to justify your beliefs with a child's dream is grasping at straws. Certainly there has to be something more compelling than this, no?

Insulting atheists for not believing and then offering this up as evidence just tells me that I'm in the right path.

The only thing I think when I see depictions of angels is "Don't Blink."

Yeah seriously, almost perfect. The unfiltered truth as the deep water from which shallow religion protects and insulates

That was a scary Dr. Who episode!

The Angels Take Manhattan was the worst, I can never look at the Statue of Liberty the same again.
