My site is inspired by SATAN!
Someone who is either not use to my blog or has had his funny bone surgically removed sent me the following:
You, the person of this website. You should be ashamed of yourself for portraying yourself as a Guardian angel, considering the fact that YOUR OWN guardian angel has probably helped you out in so many ways in your life, without you even knowing it. Have you thought about how he or she has even helped you out during your life?? Probably not. And let me tell correct you on a few things, okay?? The Seraphim are NOT pompous, Gabriel does not brag about ANYTHING in any form, and Uriel is not and never has been the Virgin Mary's guardian angel! Do you realize you got the idea for this evil website from satan himself?? Probably not. I mean, think about it for a minute. You called the Seraphim pompous, you told a lie about Gabriel and about the other angels not getting a promotion, and about Uriel being Mary's guardian angel. If you do not remove this website from the website, on Judgement day, you'll not have God and the Lord to deal with, but also a bunch of countless angels breathing down your neck as well. God help you and may you think before you react to my message to warn you
This was response to an older post titled "A day in the life of a Guardian Angel." Now I can appreciate the person for sticking up for Guardian Angels but this email was over-the-top and besides I had Gabriel as Mary's Guardian Angel in the post.

Actually, humor is probably on the top ten list of things hated by Satan.
I was particularly delighted with the "Angel Scanner" excerpts, and think that this could be extended into quite a good story. C. S. Lewis tried eavesdropping on some infernal telegrams; this is somehow far more pungent - and even tragic - as well as moving: the last one is worth its weight in gold. But let us return to this humor issue.
First, it is well to recall Aquinas on this matter: in Summa Theologica II-II Q168 A4 he writes: "In human affairs whatever is against reason is a sin. Now it is against reason for a man to be burdensome to others by offering no pleasure to others, and by hindering their enjoyment... Now a man who is without mirth, not only is lacking in playful speech, but is also burdensome to others, since he is deaf to the moderate mirth of others..."
Fast forward some 700 years to another famous fat man, philosopher and writer:
"...a characteristic of the great saints is their power of levity. Angels can fly because they can take themselves lightly. ... Pride is the downward drag of all things into an easy solemnity. ... Seriousness is not a virtue. It would be a heresy, but a much more sensible heresy, to say that seriousness is a vice. It is really a natural trend or lapse into taking one's self gravely, because it is the easiest thing to do. It is much easier to write a good Times leading article than a good joke in Punch. For solemnity flows out of men naturally; but laughter is a leap. It is easy to be heavy: hard to be light. Satan fell by the force of gravity."
-- G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy CW1:326
What is it about these people that makes it impossible for them to get a joke ... and also have to froth at the mouth about everything?
Wait, wait... let me get my bearings here...
Does this mean that... some of the things you post on this blog are not... 100% factually true accounts?
But here all along I had been believing it, every word! And now I see that the only other possible explanation is that it all must be a LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL!
"If you do not remove this website from the website, ..."
Um, OK. It sounds like a a very inarticulate way to ask for the removal of the "offending" page.
Maybe the author was an African angel worshiper . . . it sounds a little like it was written by the same people who write the Nigerian bank account emails . . .
If your site is inspired by Satan then he's sure doing a piss-poor job.
The problem with stupid people is that they don't realize that they're stupid.
Your hate mail is so much more colorful and entertaining than mine. I'm almost envious.
Sadly, there is no known cure for humor-/irony-impairment. Though I am an advocate of repeated treatment of the sufferers with seltzer-bottles, a/k/a hydrotherapy.
He faults you for assuming the status of angel, but signs himself as 'Messenger'. Greek word: Angelos.
Does he realise that?? Probably not.
Also, "God and the Lord to deal with". What, both of them? It's bad enough haveing just one to deal with, but when both of Them get called in on a case, you know you're screwed.
At least Satan gives his cronies better grammar skills.
I have a spare funny bone from a defunct Operation game...would your penpal like a transplant? (It's small, of course, but would be better than he's doing now.)
Unless of course, the comment was written by YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL! HA HA HA HA!!!
Seriously, I've sometimes wondered if some comments were not written by demons. After all how would we know? Spooky.
Curses, you puny mortals have uncovered another great plot by our Father below. But we'll get you yet. Brewhahahahahaha!
Have you thought about how he (or she) has even helped you out during your life??
He or she lost me at "he or she"
Even though he (or she) may think he (or she) does, this person obviously does not know about angels.I'm sorry to say that I know quite a few people who for what ever reason, find their religion and humor are never to mix. They are so afraid to let down their guard. So afraid that to joke about the heavenly realm is liken to total damnation. Not so. I know God has a very good sense of humor. And Jesus has on more than one occasion shown me his humor. Heaven is the final home of the human race. Humor is human. Jesus was human. Mary was human. Jesus has a Jewish mother. That right there is humor in it's self. Jesus may be saddened by the state of the world, but he can see it's humor too. That could be why he shows us so much Mercy.
I have to mix my religion and humor, I am an 8th grade CCD instructor. You should hear the BS that is trotted out as "catholic" by the DRE.
If I didn't have a sense of humor, I would probably exploded with rage and caused some massive damage to the Religious Education staff.

Presuming I ever get to meet my guardian angel, the first thing I'm gonna do is throw a tumbler full of gin in its face. The first thing I'm gonna say is:
"You are soooooooo fired."
Some of my fellow demons write in these things, I tend to just make suggestions...
Bubbs, I assume by the time you get to meet your guardian angel, he'll get to say:
You can't fire me, I'm retired!
:)
peace,
Hmm. I think it would be interesting to see how the Lord will deal wirh this person on Judgement day? Lovingly, I'm sure. Besides, I'm convinced God has a sense of humor. - Lee
