Why do we believe in angels
Why do we believe in angelsIn various retail stores today, you will find many angel knickknacks. Angles are
truly believed in by today’s society. The retail ranges from books to clothing to toys.
Most recently, over 200 books about angels are in book stores, and several million copies
have been sold worldwide (Dumas 59). Why do people buy this merchandise if it can not
be proven that angels are real? Believing in angels is like believing in God. If you don’t
