What's the difference between a genie (jinn) appearing from a lamp and talking to a human and an angel appearing to a human and talking to them?

Alladin and the Lamp
Mary and the Angel
Peter Pan and Tinker Bell

What is the meaning behind a TV Televangelist saying God told her/him to ask for love gifts from viewers?

What is the meaning behind a candidate for the US presidency saying it was God's will that she/he be the next president of the United States?

Words: Faith, little faith, ventriloquism, vaudeville, show business, entertainment

Matter of perception, since jinns were known to be fickle creatures, sometimes very cruel (wind devils), sometimes helpful. The same can be said with faeries, some can be depicted as mischievous, or beneficial.

Not sure, but if the Ghost that never lies said it's so it's so.

Footwear. Genies wear curly shoes and angels wear sandals.

What if topic

Indeed, brilliant.

Amusing if an atheist accidentally wished for an omnipotent being. :P
