I first read “horses don’t all wear capes” and was very confused. I mean, they wear blankets, but rarely capes
Wasn’t Superman’s cape made from the blanket he was swaddled in?
Hm… coincidentally I’ve never seen him resist a cube of sugar
Or a carrot. Supes would rob his own mom for a fresh carrot.

Angels are dead women? Dafuq?

Can you cite where it says that? Because I’m 99% sure it never does.

Got it, so you don’t have a citation, because it doesn’t say what you think it says.
Literally nowhere does it say that angels are people. You’re making this up. Just accept that you’re wrong.
And for the record, I’m not Christian - I just have basic literacy in their lore.

My guy, I literally told you that I’m not Christian. I don’t believe in angels, or gods, or any of that stuff.
You said a simple thing: the bible states that angels are dead women. Yet you can’t show a citation for it saying that. I don’t have to believe in any of that Bible stuff to tell you “no, it doesn’t say that”.
You sound like you have actual problems though. Have you considered talking to a specialist? Something ain’t right.

I actually really like this summary which goes through all the references in detail. It raises one great point in particular, even if you don’t want to get into the linguistics of gender in Greek (which also disagree with you unfortunately). The only two named angels in the Bible are Michael and Gabriel, both of which are male. The rest of it is a fascinating look at angelology in the Bible though (which has been a big hobby of mine since converting to gnosticism. Its wild knowing more about the Bible now that the catholic church thinks I’m a witch). I actually found this while looking up the Matthew verse though which this breakdown implies doesn’t mention gender but I would argue that it does. It says neither married nor given in marriage which is a distinctly gendered aspect in that cultural milieu. I do wonder if you’re maybe thinking of similar figures from other religions such as the Nordic Valkyries or Islamic Houri.
