Agrees, Mikage. ..
No. I think he was a very special person with a relevant message for the world, but I don't think religion (specifically, Christianity, since you cite the Archangel Michael) has any place in that at all. His message is applicable to people of diverse faiths as well as people with no religious affiliation or belief whatsoever. His was a secular message of love and caring for the planet, and he was a very honest and intellectually gifted person, with a good nature and a genius for a number of things.
.. I don't believe that, to be honest. ..Michael was a wonderful human being, not Archangel Michael reborn. ...
This is what I believe as well. I also think it is dangerous to try and deify Michael.
No, absolutely not.Re: Do you feel Michael was re-birth of The Archangel St. Michael?

.I also don't find anything blasphemous in the thought that Michael is someone very, very special- just as Saints were humans as well, aside from being a Saint apparently. People just use whatever terms they can relate to and whatever they are somewhat familiar with.
There is only so much 'coincidence' I can accept as 'being in the right place as the right time'- you don't become the second most famous man to walk the planet out of sheer coincidence
How many people literally were shaken to their core upon his physical passing? How many people (posthumously!) felt that MJ suddenly had a hold on them that they couldn't explain to themselves?
How many people literally felt 'awakened' to something- and that something they are still trying to figure out- they way they are trying to figure out themselves?
