Flaming swords are often the best way forward.

Wonder why people keep persisting in thinking angels are nice fluffy things?

Yep, that they are. That's why I want one. Lightsabers may be cool, but flaming swords are traditional.

Because part of the West's cultural baggage has smiling people with white fluffy wings being helpful? Oh, and this thing called the New Testament might have something to do with it?

Me, I was always an Old Testament fan...

Well yes. 'Hmm, that city needs destroying. I know, I'll send an Angel'. *smite, smite, reduce city to rubble*.

Very helpful if you were planning some major rebuilding works but just couldn't work out where to start. Of course, you may be dead, which can put a real crimp in your day, but still...
