So you don't except the fact that people go to heaven?
I do not believe they hang around listening to prayers. I believe their spirits are set free, but Gods universe is much larger than what we know as mortals, infinitely larger.
I believe in angels. That is their job.
I believe mortals can become angels, but they would not retain their earthly names.
Why do you ask? What difference does it make to you, what I believe?
