I stopped believing in god when I was 10. I've never looked back until now, but I can't help but think that those priests might have been on to something.

For one, I think the fact that we, as humans, are forced into having sexual urges is a source of great frustration. I'm comfortable with never having sex, but I'm tired of masturbating. I'd like to get on with my life. Maybe those celibate monks and priests have some good ideas rattling around in their heads?

Also, even if you don't believe in god, you have to admit that believing in something that isn't true isn't such a bad thing if it absolves your fear of death.

Seems like a cop-out to me. Just stop masturbating. It's not like it's heroin or something, you can do this.
Also a lot of things absolve your fear of death, many of which aren't true. I mean, a lot of people probably fear death because of Hell in the first place.

Average angels (which Moses lays waste without a second thought) measured a few astronomical units. Sandalphon is bigger and is burning. Think a star that goes all the way from Sun to Alpha Centauri. Now imagine if that star was sentient and covered with burning eyes and a million wings and wheels. This is Sandalphon.

In pure physical force, though, Zeruel is by far the most powerful.

Compare.
Sachiel battering at NERV defenses, unable to penetrate the first level before being engaged by 01.
Ramiel taking a full day to burrow through 5 layers of defense.
Zeruel eliminating 18 levels of defense in one shot. And the rest with the next.

Furthermore, it's the only angel with an apparent cover for its core, protecting it even further from conventional weaponry. Its bladed arms are versatile and efficient, and the brute force of its eyebeams are unmatched.

Yes, in fact this thread is very much related to otaku culture. Christian mythos and symoblism are widely popular in Japanese media, with angelic beings being used and overused by many games and animation series (take for example the recently translated Eien no Aselia) and the cross motif adorning many a character's attire. From Neon Genesis Evangelion to Tears to Tiara, understanding Christian fantasy, regardless of your actual religious orientation (if any), will help you enjoy the presented content.

Yeah this is from the Torah.

Read the Torah, also 1001 Arabian Nights. Jesus gets some cool stuff in the islamic mythos, like the fish Bahamut.

>At this sight Isa fell down aswoon, and when he came to himself, Allah spake to him by inspiration, saying, 'O Isa, hast thou seen the fish and comprehended its length and its breadth?' He replied, 'By Thy honour and glory, O Lord, I saw no fish; but there passed me by a great bull, whose length was three days' journey, and I know not what manner of thing this bull is.' Quoth Allah, 'O Isa, this that thou sawest and which was three days in passing by thee, was but the head of the fish; and know that every day I create forty fishes like unto this.

[Translators note: Isa means jeezus]
Oh, and Bahamut is actually so large he makes Sandalphon look like a tinker-toy. Unlike the bull Kujata which stands atop Bahamut, it's never implied that Bahamut has any extra body parts or quirks, it's just

Okay guys, I've found my book. Moses up in this motherfucker. This is the story of Moses getting the Torah.

>Moses' first encounter is with the angel Kemuel. This being, who seems to guard the entrance to Heaven - "He is in command of twelve thousand angels of destruction who sit at the gates of Heaven" - gives Moses a severe tongue lashing. Moses is a creature of filth, what is he doing in a place of purity? Moses stands his ground: "I am the son of Amram, and I came to get Torah for Israel. " When Kemuel does not let him pass, Moses wipes him out of existance with a single blow.

By another account, Kemuel gets so fucking scared that he runs 13000 parasangs (= about 71133 km) away. Oh yeah, Moses also has divine "horns of splendor" and rams through angels like a fucking bull.

Next in line is Hadarniel. This fellow is six hundred thousand parasangs tall, which is about about eight times the distance between Earth and the moon. Every time he speaks, twelve thousand lightning bolts flash through the sky (This is where Moses starts getting scared. ) And even Hadarniel pisses its pants at the mention of Sandalphon.

True, but 100% of the time, it leads to trying to absolve blame for all your and society's problems, blaming them on the devil, calling them "God's plan", or finding some other way of not solving anything by praying.

To throw back to Bahamut's HUGEness, the bull Kujata who stands atop Bahamut's head is 500 500 year journeys long. He has 500 body parts, each 500 year walks apart.
He looks fucked up.

P.S. you apparently can't look at Bahamut's HUGEness without having your head explode, or something. It was supposed to be meaningful that Jesus didn't die from that glimpse he saw.
