Send Me an Angel

I've decided to pitch as i would for multiple people because to be honest every person who reads this it means a lot to me, As some of you may know this title is in fact the name of a song by the Scorpions, now i know what you're thinking but i am neither going to repost it's lyrics or attempt to plagiarize it, no far from it

I intent instead to use it to lubricate as it were my own personal view on our society and my religious views in one which may sound very incorrect for another, but i say to these people:
'How can you chaste someone for a passion and an attempt for them self to assail the greatest single mystery that has plagued humans and struck at our weakness, that being how our minds function and our need for understanding and order, if you place a human at the bottom of a cliff, they will soon wonder what the cliff is doing there and what it may be used for and eventually attempt to master it. Yet you feel no remorse in thrashing another person for having faith in something you do not'

I'd like to see myself as a religiously tolerant person other than when people see themselves as 'the only sane people' for not having a particular religious view. I grant that there will be people out there who solely feel no desire to think about the profound and to be honest i find that quite a deeply sad notion, however these are very rare i think and many people who do not believe themselves at all religious will feel some senses and emotions that fulfill the basic human need for guidance and understand that forms religion but without an earth born organization to represent it.

In these troubled days sparked with a simple issue of what i consider to be a magnificent misjudgment on behalf of the BBC editing staff, I am the only person to see a slight resonance of the Godfather II? obviously i do not mean that at all literally and i only refer to it for that fantastic build to the peak of human hopelessness and where the most godless people just look to the stars and scream in despair to feel so alone, When i look at the news and see the debacle that had become of the Ross and Brand incident and yeah I'm going there but not from an offensive point of view or even a too specific one...for me i saw all i needed to see from radio, TV and internet to see that our society and world as we know it is based on the fundamental flaw that is...the human.

From my own experience i gather that some people feel insignificant and fear responsibility for others and lack that trust in ourselves that allows people to lead, from all this i personally reach the conclusion that what this world needs..

what we need is angel

Because by their nature angels are not human although they are portrayed in an image like our own as in fact that could be either way round, but it brings to mind the idea of divine infallibility and the stories from the Bible that would suggest God as omniscient and omnipotent although he lacks the prevent placing the fatal flaw in the human and in fact it comes back to trouble him when people sully themselves reducing whole cities to sin and when the first of the humans gave under the temptation to sin.

If you ask me, the way people turn on the BBC presenters for the incident around two weeks ago gives to me the idea that throughout all out years on this earth we are unable to learn our lessons and yet we claim to do this well, our problem with this is we get hung up on the time divide and indeed we all feel that the past is much further different and distant than the present even if the divide is so infinitely small from our perspective. You may well disagree because my viewpoint, i do seem in fact fairly Christian in viewpoint even if i do not seem to fit into the modern day church of Christianity.

Of Course there is always the fear that we have become too distant from our creator and will be unable to see his messenger, although some see manifestations of this we have never as a humanity seen an Angel...despite this we all seem to be pretty fine with the concept in both it's form as a winged servant of God and as a modern day colloquialism, but this brings no end to the confusion and the fear that our angel may go unnoticed but as it is we live under the wake of many fears and this just falls into our tapestry of fear....call me depressive if you like but there is a metaphorical loom of the unpleasant. If you ask me..

..what need is an Angel
