Joel Embiid’s historic 70-point night for the Philadelphia 76ers was obviously not your run-of-the-mill NBA performance. It’s the kind that has fans and active star players all in awe once they hear of the news.

In the Bible, angels can be deadly. So why do we place them at the top of our Christmas trees?
Those beautiful white and gold angels you see on Christmas trees were originally monsters. At least, that is the claim made by scholar Esther Hamori in her book God’s Monsters.
