Wikipedia tells us,
"Angels are messengers of God in the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament and the Quran. The term "angel" has also been expanded to various notions of "spiritual beings" found in many other religious traditions. Other roles of angels include protecting and guiding human beings, and carrying out God's tasks."
This is basically right, but a bit flowery. Look at the picture.
Angels are basically guys without penises (angels are sexless) who look more like girls.
These girlie boys are good fighters - remember they beat Satan (Son of the Dawn? Ha Ha!) and his lot in the great battle between good and evil. Angels can't really reproduce (no penises, remember) but they live for a very long time, so it doesn't really matter.
I've included a picture of the Archangel Michael. He's sort of like a general. Again, no penis, but a bloody good fighter.
Although, in my parables, it's usually servants that chase away the crows, Michael (and other penisless guys like Gabriel) could easily do this too. It just seems a bit over the top to call in angels to do a job that servants have covered.
There we are, now you have the low down on angels.
What?
