    I have wings.

    I like the "weird" feeling they give you. Feels like you're wearing a diaper.

    Our ancestors put two and two together. Birds can fly up to the heavens and so, angels must have wings too lol I agree that it's a primitive way of thinking.

    Angels in the original Sumerian meant messenger and those messengers flew from place to place. Ezekiel flew from place to place also. The only thing they could understand about people flying is if they had wings.

    Something about Chariots of the Gods and I'm part Goddess bird and Penfold is similar to "manbirds" like on Ugly Americans.

    "Yo Michelangelo, how are you doing up on that ladder?"

    "Okay, but I need more paint. This plastered ceiling really soaks it up."

    "What colors do you need?"

    "White and flesh tones. These angels are tough to paint."

    "What shade of flesh tones do you need? Italian or honky color?"

    "I'm gonna make the angels honky pink with white wings."

    "Wings? ..... There's no mention in the Bible about angels having wings."

    "I don't care what the Bible says. My angels need wings to fly up here near the ceiling."

    Feathers are pretty and I saw an angel in my dream who proved to give me sensational feelings in my loins.

    angels have wings from the bible

    Exodus 25:20

    And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.

    man attributed the angel wings as similar to bird wings
