Default Why Humans are chosen for gawd duties

I was just curious if anyone knew why ministers, preachers, and other theological leaders are human instead of those angel thingies?

Knowing humans knack for deception first hand, it seems gawd would be better off appointing angels to preach his word. I might even show up for church if an angel was preaching 'the good book' (tm).

But seriously, this is another example of an all-omnni gawd concept falling on it's face:
Let's make humans my messengers instead of the angels.

Also, we have the story of Noah. Lets see, I'm Goawd and have the power to do anything imaginable. So, as illogical as it may seem, I'm going to let a human build a boat so I can kill every living thing. Even those things that dont deserve it and even though I have the power to know who deserves to die and have the power to selectively choose who does face me.

Lets let Moses pop a couple of peyote and speak to a burning bush <snicker>. Then, instead of using something supernatural, such as an angel to deliver my commandments, Im going to give them to a human to write on rocks. Yeah, that makes sense.

I'm sure there are more examples of gawd duties given to humans that should have been given to gawd's harem.

Because god loves human beings more?
Oh wait he lets those awful things happen to human beings all the time, even to his preachers ...

Oh, that proves that God loves them most.
