“Angels appear to transcend all cultures, races, and systems. They are a part of human history and civilization, sometimes at the forefront, other times in the shadows, but they are always there.

No one religion holds total responsibility for the belief in angels. In truth, these religions only support the existence of angels, they didn't create them.”
