    Matthew 20:30

    “At resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.”

    I think that’s where the sentiment comes from. It’s explicit in Mormonism (I think). In mainstream Christianity the saved don’t become angels, they become like angels.

      … they become like angels.

      In the sense that they no longer have sexual or romantic urges, would be my reading of that passage. Angels have no belly buttons!
