They're utterly fascinating, as are faeries.
(And I believe both to be imaginary.)

They exist. They are messengers of the Lord, and are spoken of in the epistle to the Hebrews as "ministering spirits"(Hebl:4) We learn from latter-day revelation that there are two classes of heavenly beings who minister for the Lord: those who are spirits and those who have bodies of flesh and bone. Spirits are those beings who either have not yet obtained a body of flesh and bone (unembodied), or who have once had a mortal body and have died, and are awaiting the resurrection (disembodied). Ordinarily the word angel means those ministering person who have a body of flesh and bone, being either resurrected from the dead (reembodied), or else translated, as were Enoch, Elijah, etc,(D&C 129)
There are many references to the work of angels in the ot. In some passages the "angel of the Lord" speaks as the voice of God himself (Gen 22:11-12). The word angel is also sometimes used to designate a human messenger, as in JST Gen.l9,, and may have some application also in Matt.l3:39-42. There is evidence of nonmortal beings who serve God in heaven and also of some who do God's will and minister to men on the earth. We find angels mentioned by name in Dan 8, Luke l. In Latter-day revelation we learn that the angel Michael is Adam, and the angel of Gabriel is Noah.
There are also the devil's angels. These are those spirits who followed Lucifer and were thrust out of the war in heaven and cast down to the earth.
Latter-day revelation contains much about the nature, ministry, and identification of angels. The word angel is used in various ways. A person who is a divine messenger is called an angel. Thus Moroni, John the Baptist, Peter, James, John, Moses, Elijah, and Elias all ministered to Joseph Smith as angels. These all shall be exalted and inherit celestial glory. The scriptures also speak of another class of persons who, because of failure to obey the gospel, will not be exalted and will become angels in eternity. These angels are spoken of in Matt.22:29-31 and D&C132:16-18 This latter designation should not be confused with the use of the term angels having reference to the heavenly messengers sent forth to minister to the inhabitants of the earth.

Angels are beings that God created. They are NOT human and humans do not become them when they die. Angels are God's messagners, soldiers, and they praise him forever. About 2/3 of the created angels are now "fallen angels" because they sided with Satan before he was cast out of Heaven. They are currently called demons. This was not God's intention for them. Angels, unlike people are incapable of receiving God's salvation for sinning. Angels are not made in God's image and do not have souls like humans do.

I think being an angel is a spiritual state you become over time. In other words... you evolve into an angel.

I believe that angels exist, but I believe that God is more worthy of my devotion than angels. Angels are messengers of God.

If you think that God really exist, I think there's a great possibility that angels also do exist.

Creatures GOD created, and they always pray for Him, and NEVER disobey, unlike us, humans. GOD created Angels from light, whereas He created us from dust. Believing in Angels is one of my religion's pillars of faith.
P.S: I'd love to see an angel!
