Silly things you misunderstood about religion as a child

RE: Silly things you misunderstood about religion as a child
I thought angels were humanoids with wings and halos. They're described quite differently in the bible, and having to say "be not afraid" to people was quite justified.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

You got it from Zoroastrianism, which believes in guardian angels.  So although you may know nothing at all about Zoroastrianism it's the basis of many of your religious beliefs, even if you aren't religious.
