These pollsters really epitomize the characteristic of stupidity.
Another human coming to your aid could be considered a "guardian
angel." A dog trained to call 911 can be considered a "guardian
angel." There is nothing necessarily supernatural about it.

Yes, and it's called America.

Tell that to the superstitious religious imbeciles who do
believe in such absurd nonsense.

Idiot pollster looking for a forgone and marketable conclusion.
30%% - 99%% of these people could have been speaking metaphorically or
describing being helped by something either they or these pollsters could
not fully understand.
Ask anyone in the medical profession, Have you ever seen a ""miracle"" or
something you could not fully explain, something that seemed to not make
sense? More than 55%% would answer 'yes' and while hesitant to call it a
"miracle" they might for want of a better word. This doesn't mean that
they believe in some heebie jeebie voodoo, it just means they can not
explain everything they see.
