Angels (as well as aliens)made a big come back in popular culture only just recently back in the 70's-1980's , songs, several TV series & of course for you Ronnie Raygun was one supreme angelic being, one supposes in times of human recessions the psychological needs of wanting & natural hope, manifests itself. The phenomenon of suspension of reality ensues, people go for the Santa Claus effect usually every time, etc etc.
This happens frequently all the time in the Theatre, in well acted plays today as it was in the cathedrals & Temples of old ,there is a suspension of belief, a few well chosen liturgies, incense, sprinkling of water & magic cookies that represents eating of mystical bodies, & hail, holy, ho...and away they go. Then tell them they are God's chosen , following the one true scripture. Well just look about you in the ME or here in the provincial US, people waving books around as if they represent some great reality, when they are just poorly written, often contradicting examples, excitations of the human mind. (not even great literature) |
