>Each of the Indo-European pantheons had gods assigned a single function, usually connected to an astronomical body. For example, Apollo carried the sun via his chariot across the sky and was associated with the Sun. Diana was the goddess of the hunt and associated with the moon. Zeus was the god of lightning, fathers, leadership, associated with storms and lightning. Aphrodite was the goddess of sex, love, prostitution, beauty, etc.

>In Abrahamic systems, the angels serve this exact function. In the Testament of Solomon, each of the demons are connected to a planet and have a function that is a reflection of a distorted function of what they once had. The principalities are angels associated with single nations, the powers are angels of war, the seraphim are angels of beauty, the Archangels have a leadership role and are associated with the Four Directions (paralleling the 'Four Great Winds' of Greek myth and the 'Four Great Kings' of Buddhist myth). In Thomas Aquinas and Fr. Sergei Bulgakov, the angels carried the planets around the earth rotationally which is why they circled the earth. 

>There are good angels and bad angels

>The word 'angel' is a meaningless term in of itself. It means 'messenger' which doesn't actually mean anything. An angel is a 'celestial being' with a certain function

>The gods in Indo-European myth are simply celestial beings that don't have an eternal origin, they came into existence at some definite point

>The reason why pagan idolatry was sinful was because, for the Abrahamics, the pagans were worshipping angels or demons rather than the One Superior God who rules over them, Yahweh.
