Do you believe in them? Do you feel as though you have one? I do I believe my nan is guiding me. I know I sound bonkers but often I find strange things happen and often sense my nan. I seem to look at clocks right at the time of 11:11 and 13:13 and ive been told it's a sign that the Angels are beside you.
I know I'm sounding bonkers so I apologise now...  |

I used to, I'm not so sure these days?! Either they've left to guide someone else.... Or they've decided, I must have been a very bad girl in a previous life!  |

When my mother died...someone close to me said they saw a tall figure with wings standing at the end of my bed when I awoke suddenly in a panic. I managed to be with her as she died as was staying at the hospice.
I'm not religious though so remain sceptical.

On the Topic of guardian angels I'm uncertain, a friend of mine who is a psychic said that she could read auras and speak to peoples angels. They would travel with you for parts of your journey then move on... I'm unconvinced |

I'm Irish, brought up Catlick and I might add no longer practicing because it's all a little bit too hocus pocus and evil for me. I'm a god (less) mother even though I'm not a church goer because I have religious friends. |

When my kids were small my then two year old daughters pushed my son through a glass door head first. He had a little padded coat on an the hood pushed up and saved him from the jagged glass. I spoke to a devout Christian lady just after and she said that all children have a guardian angel.
What she meant was all children in safe,
loving homes that nothing very bad happens to have guardian angels. She couldn't possibly think that kids who are abused, starving, living in extreme poverty etc have them.....could she?
Cynical! Moi?
So no, I don't believe in guardian angels unless they are very choosy who they guard. |

Yep. I believe that this strength actually comes from within and belief in an outside force helps tap into it. Your guardian angel is really your "self". |

I always feel very uncomfortable when people say they must have had a guardian angel watching out for them when they had a lucky escape. ..what about people who didn't escape? Eg:did none of the people in 9/11 have a guardian angel? |

Yes that was the point I was trying to make. Are guardian angels selective about who they guard? |

I do believe that there is somthing that watches out for you, maybe not all the time.
Whenever somthing big has happened ie: being pregnant .
Both times I've had a random white feather floating beside me in the house.
And somtimes I just get a warm feeling like sombody touching me on the shoulder. Just know that things will be ok |

I believe in guardian angels, after getting away with concussion and whiplash after going over the bonnet of a car and landing on the back of head in a motorbike crash.
I have had too many incidents and Ok I got injured, but it could have been a lot worse. |

I find justifications as above as potentially disrespectful ?
Why? well as a number of posts have mentioned , while you were lucky a 10s of thousands were not . To suggest that because a person survives a horrific, they are some how special or deserving is by inference saying all the others are not !
There is a well studied psychological phenomenon where humans think they are extra special it seems this kicks in when random luck saves a life
As an extreme sport player and a bit of an adventurous idiot iv had more near death experience than I want to remember I'm also rather lucky generally in life, I too have random feathers appear and one thing I don't have is a guardian angel
If i thought remotely I did I'd tell it to go and protect those that deserve it x
As for auras and pretending to talk to dead people , that person is not telling the truth

I'm very cynical about this sort of thing to be honest. Where are the Guardian Angels in war zones and areas of mass genocide? Who gets one, all of us, or just a privileged few?
Having said that, when I was a kiddie I slipped down the stairs, somehow I managed to literally slide down from the middle of the stairs to the bottom upright all the way without actually falling over when by rights I should have ended up a crumpled mess and probably broken lots of bones. I thought I must have had a guardian that day, absolutely no idea how I didn't fall down, just luck I guess ... ? |

I'm not doubting your word at all but if this was the case for everyone all pregnancies would go well, no still births or miscarriage. What criteria do these angels use to choose the lucky ones?

Churches are a throwback to a previous unenlightened era where gullible people with no real knowledge of the physical world or it's workings we're told stories to stop them being scared. Religions are now just an excuse to justify wars etc. there really is no place for them or for the beliefs tied in with them in a modern forward thinking world. Just an opinion. |

I believe in them, though I know it sounds completely bonkers. I've had a horrible year with major changes taking place and I can't stop thinking that my guardian angel has forsaken me. I'm still hoping that in time it will become positive |

Do you remember in the 80,s there was kids who bought Judas priest records and believed if you played them backwards on the old record player, it contained messages from Satan  .
If you could get one directions new single on vinyl and play it backwards....
It actually sounds better |

It always surprises me how people who do believe fail to acknowledge or answer the questions raised by those who don't. |

So you feel you are more special and more important than a good lady friend of mine who is about to die of the above dreaded condition at 41 ? Or the 10 other lovely mums and dads I knew who died young this year ?
Same for the miracle child above , just go and tell your story to the 1000 mums who's child died that day go on tell them just how special you think you are ?
Because when you say you have a guardian angel and mean it , not in jest as one has a close call , but if you really really believe then that's what you are saying
I'm more special than you because I'm protected by bla bla

Well your conclusion is wrong then but often we have our own conclusion and often jump to a conclusion based on limited or no information. All things are possible but don't assume I live in a fairytale fantasy land that believes in make believe. I only stated that strange things have been happening that haven't happened before and I'm trying to make sense of it all. |

It's in our nature to try and make sense of strange things and who knows maybe there is an external force that can influence us. Just because I believe that force actually comes from within us doesn't mean I'm right and you're wrong, it just means that the conclusions I came to having tried to make sense of stuff are different to yours. |

I totally agree it's called perception and I use that and conclusion everyday in my job based on information and evidence that is available to me. I value even the ones that don't believe as there are valid arguments to both sides I guess |

You did say you believed ALL things are possible. I just took that statement to its conclusion.
Well your conclusion is wrong then but often we have our own conclusion and often jump to a conclusion based on limited or no information. All things are possible but don't assume I live in a fairytale fantasy land that believes in make believe. I only stated that strange things have been happening that haven't happened before and I'm trying to make sense of it all.
It's in our nature to try and make sense of strange things and who knows maybe there is an external force that can influence us. Just because I believe that force actually comes from within us doesn't mean I'm right and you're wrong, it just means that the conclusions I came to having tried to make sense of stuff are different to yours.
I totally agree it's called perception and I use that and conclusion everyday in my job based on information and evidence that is available to me. I value even the ones that don't believe as there are valid arguments to both sides I guess "
You stated "you believed all things are possible". The only logical conclusion from that statement is that you could believe in anything. You stated an absolute. All things are possible. They patently and demonstrably are not. You use evidence to weigh up the chances of something being possible. If there is no evidence it isn't a valid argument. I remain at your disposal, should you require my skills in nitpicking and pedantry. I Thank you. |

"Well interesting responses I just thought I'd ask as some strange things have been happening. I'm sure there is an explanation however I'm open minded to believe that all things are possible.
Positivity breeds positivity.
It always fascinates me how those that don't believe are bitter and very negative.. "
I do like to read comments like this. It uses the same analogy as devout Christians where they feel only the riteous go to heaven and non believers go to hell which is complete drivel and to be honest is a bit of a conceited attitude to have. Some very nice human beings are living hell daily are you suggesting this is because they are not positive or could it be that some extremist is trying to impose their will on people in the name of religion.

But nobody tries to impose atheism , in the name of atheism. Atheism is just one part of that particular societies rules.
You can still be communist and believe in god. Religion was never stamped out in any communist countries, it just went underground. It was the fault of the encompassing ideology, not atheism itself. |

Humanity Has a Simple base need to believe in something, what you describe, is the Simple result of Christianity being the most dominant religion in Europe, over a large section of modern history.
Example, if christianity hadn't taken off when it did, those churches would likely have stayed, Mithras and People would still be sacrificing chickens.
Personaly, I simply don't believe in such stuff, but if such beliefs allow another to accept and handle, what is going on in their lives. Then good on them.

I don't need ten commandments from God on a stone tablet to tell me killing people is bad.
I don't see the need for mutilating children's genitals in order to get into heaven.
I don't see why women should be subservient to men in order to get in.
I don't see why people who chose to believe other stuff should be beheaded.
And is coverting thy neighbours ass really such a sin.... Ohhh he meant that type of ass. |

There is no god but Keef, and Lemmy is his prophet.
On an aside, I personally am a deist of a very loose kind; but I don't believe in any other sort of supernatural phenomena, be it angels, mediums ghosts or what have you. But its no skin off my nose if anyone else believes in them.
But I would be intrigued to be proved wrong. |
