Angels: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
|
|
فرشته های خوب، بد و زشت
|
I was about thirteen years old when I had my first encounter with an angel. I was going upstairs to my room, pulling my entire
weight on the handrail, when it suddenly came off in my hand. I fell
backwards, head first. Halfway into a terrible fall, I felt a strong
hand on my back push me upright. There was nobody there--well, nobody visible!
Angel
stories are always fascinating, and in this story I address angels: the
good, the bad, and the ugly. The good angels are the holy ones, the bad
angels are the evil ones, which the Bible calls demons, and the ugly angels are demons disguising themselves as good angels. These ugly angels havedeceived many people in a culture that has embraced "angel mania."
