Angel of Death

Do you think the Angel of Death exists today? I just want to know what people think. I wrote a screenplay about that subject. If you want to check it out, the link is: http://www.scriptbuddy.com/community/?p ... 8&t=&pg=14

Why not? People still die.

Keep in mind, the word "angel" in both Hebrew and in Greek is literally "messenger."

Nope, I think it was Ben Affleck who said to the last AOD, "There hasn't been an Angel of Death since you quit. Doesn't that mean anything to you?"

Seriously, now, I'm-a agree with Didy, people die, so there probably is one.

I guess what I really ment to say was do you think people can actually see him/her/it today.

Sadly, all who could possibly have seen the guy are.. guess what.. dead.

It's a nice metaphore, but I don't believe in it.

I love that show.

Anyway, I'm not sure. I've never died, I don't know. (Of course, the fact that I enjoy Grim Adventures and Discworld means that I still think of Death as a skeleton in a black robe with an awesome scythe. And he likes kitties.) Who knows? Maybe he's not doing his job anymore. Maybe he IS a skeleton in a black robe with an awesome scythe. Heck, maybe he's a giant squid. I simply haven't the faintest idea.

I do think that there's probably someone/something that guides us to Heaven (or Hell, or Purgatory, or wherever you happen to be going).

*cough* GRIM FANDANGO, PEOPLE.

Anyway, the Angel of Death, or the Grim Reaper or whatever, is totally awesome in my book, but sadly not even the things I find totally awesome have to exist.

I don't think I'll see that guy around.

Or maybe he sends a red-haired, freckled boy to do his job while he goes fyshing.
Since I know someone is going to ask, I'm talking about Mort.

Anyway, I believe that there is an afterlife, but I've never given much thought to the means used to get there. I suppose there has to be something, so why not Death? Of course, on that note, why not a train? Why not a hot air balloon? I guess we'll all find out someday. Until then, I figure it's best not to worry about it.

The portrayed means of getting there will change with time. In old times, we might've had to climb stairs. In the industrial revolution, surely Death was well-equiped enough to afford a cool Death Train of some sort.

'death' is an image in popular culture. He will shapeshift as our culture changes. For me this indicates he is a nice fairy tale
