And still do!! Remember, though, that there are a few angels that are
pretty scary. The Angel of Death is one that spooks quite a few
people. Actually, he's just doing a job that has to be done. Imagine
the overpopulation that would result from a profound lack of death.
We humans would be stuck on a milk diet if the harvesting of fruit is
considered 'killing' by God. Certainly, meat products would, given a
world with no death, impose huge amounts of travail on the animals we
dissect. A simple 'leg of lamb' would imply a lame lamb and that
could be interpreted as cruel if it weren't for the mercy of death.
