What better way to experience humanity than to join it? How great of lessons could be learned if the supernatural became natural? Nearly every religion mentions an Almighty with subordinates, whether they are other gods, deities, Sons of God, angels, or spirits. Several religions have suggested these beings came to Earth in ancient times and lived among mankind. So what keeps them from coming back today? Or, is it possible that after living among us in ancient times with their powers, they chose to live among us as purely human? They would surely gain a true sense of free will, but what they stand to lose may be far greater.
