An “angel” refers to an “angled branch of thought” or more simply, an idea or scheme. Quite often a con man is said to have an “angle” … stemming from the same root concept, an “angel overlooking his plans” - a scheme. A Catholic nun would wear her “habit” so as to protect her from the “schemes of men”/“angels” (the very same reason women do not walk around showing too much of their body or masking their face … not counting the possible embarrassment issue).
Scripturally, a “tree” is what today you might call an “orderly index of ideas” that branches from one central idea (directly related to the famous “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil”). And the original DOS PC operating system (“Disk Operating System”) referred to its index of topics on the disk, not as “folders” but rather as the “index tree”. An overarching central idea is also referred to as an “Archangel” (such as capitalism, socialism, Rational Metaphysics, and so on.
Now with all of that in mind, what I was trying to relay to those who could have possibly understood (very few), is that RD (“Rational Debating”) automatically generates a tabled index of branching thoughts/ideas/angels such that every individual can see where their beliefs fit best and who their like-minded friends very probably are. Each initiating thought is referred to as the seed of a “tree” (scripturally and technically) - a “seed thought” or what some have referred to as a “pregnant idea”.
When RD is the common practice among merely a few people (or even merely one with a good imagination and interest), many branching trees get formed from initial thoughts - an “entire forest” of such branching thoughts. Basically every hypothetical, every “what if”, could initiate a new tree of thought.
These ideas and concerns go all the way back to the stories of Abraham (an ancient (somewhat outcast) philosopher) and the days of Genesis.
Angels were not originally mythological beings. Ignorant people’s imagination (with the help of inconsiderate, if not evil, people’s help) made them into mythology (just like everything else). Trees and angels have changed only in their name, not what they have always been.
There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that is a part of religion that wasn’t born in that same way:
Someone’s ontological philosophy into many people’s misrepresented religion.
