it is a mistake to take things too literally

pin is actually an allegory

and everyone knows that angels are in fact messengers or pastors:D
Why would anyone want to dance on an allegory?

An allegory is a story told to teach or illustrate a point. An allegory is not true, although it may be potentially true. He probably should have called it a metaphor.

Hmmm, I think we are going to have to run a credit check on these angels, especially if there is only a potential that they exist to buy floorspace on a pin that may or may not exist as well. Can't be too careful in today's economy.

Generally. The number who can dance on a pin will be a percentage of those who can dance.

Does being slain in the spirit and flopping on the floor count as dancing?

dunno, never seen it happen. I guess it can be called spiritual breakdancing
