[edit] True or False

The likelihood of any story for or against a spiritual occurence being proved with material evidence, is slim. References to supporters are completely missing. As the article points out, WW I soldiers had poor survivability in the long run, so their stories were never recorded.

But the Wikipedia article on Mons does record a German's expectation that they should have won the battle, and wonders why they didn't (think Dunkirk and the missing carriers at Pearl Harbor here). My thought would be divine "intervention," a materialist would say, "they were just lucky." Isn't that usually the case?

I suppose an army of angels also helped Rommel kick the shit out of the allies during WWII then...--Threedots dead (talk) 13:42, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't know that this can be leveled indiscrimately at every battle in history. I suppose Montgomery beat Rommel in Africa. And Rommel was at his wife's birthday party during the Normandy invasion. The Germans lacked a crucial leader at a crucial time. So maybe it applies to Rommel as well. At least in two instances. (We need to take care that this disussion doesn't deviate too far from Mons).

No, I just wanted to point out the sillyness of having god send out angels to fight on anyones side. It would just make him a total prick. And what do we get when we mix that with how and and when the story originated? Propaganda hoax.--Threedots dead (talk) 12:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
