Christians mad at angels that kill...

are idiots. And they have not read the bible.

Angels are vicious remorseless killers.

"That night the angel of the LORD went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp. When the people got up the next morning--there were all the dead bodies!"

"He unleashed against them his hot anger, his wrath, his indignation and hostility - a band of destroying angels"

"When the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem the Lord was grieved because of the calamity and said to the angel who was afflicting the people ‘Enough! Withdraw your hand’"

I'm a Christian and I agree with you... it's pretty idiotic to think of Angels as benign beings that could never lift a finger to kill mortals... not if one's read the Old Testament.

In my experience Christians tend to dismiss the old testament for the new (except for Genesis).

That made me laugh.

Selective memory, or for most...pick and choose from the Old Testament what they like to fit their Christian narrative.
