What's an angel?

I mean, I looked it up, and it looks like it's some kind of religious thing? But the information doesn't always match, and people keep asking me if I am one, so...I don't know.

I don't think I've seen anything else call them warriors.

[That's...something, at least. Something he probably doesn't want to think about too much right now.]

[He's also not going to touch Zoroastrianism with a ten-foot pole; he's having a hard enough time with how complicated this religion discussion is getting without whatever that is.]

Wait, there are humans with wings?

[helpdesk_hero]

It's part of the stories behind them, especially when one considers the war between the angels and those who rebelled with Lucifer. But it's not as commonly held to these days.

There are, in my world. One of them actually goes by Angel actually.

Wait, I heard about Lucifer, but it was a whole war?

[Yep everything else is on hold until he gets the full story here.]

[helpdesk_hero]

Yes, of course. Religion often has an undercurrent of conflict, and christian faiths have a serious focus on the inherent conflict between 'good' and 'evil' morals and the ability for humans to have freedom of choice.

So Lucifer is 'evil,' but he started a war with God and now he's a king. It kinda sounds like he won.

[This is entirely the wrong lesson to be taking away from this, but when your only context for religion is a self-styled god with a genocidal bent...well. Huvrye has his opinions.]

[helpdesk_hero]

Not a king, but he is the ruler of hell, which is seen as the source of all sin, temptation, and damnation.

According to who? The god who put him there?

[helpdesk_hero]

Yes.
