^^This is actually what is generally more Biblically accurate. Their catchphrase is "be not afraid" for a reason. Angels are often described in the Bible as these super bizarre creatures.

Meanwhile, demons get no physical descriptions that I can recall, outside of symbolic representation of Satan as a dragon. Christians often claim (although with no Biblical justification) that Satan was once Lucifer, the most beautiful angel in Heaven. And if you think about it, if demons really did exist, them having a beautiful outer appearance would make sense, as it would help them lure humans into a false sense of security, as well as allow them to LARP as angels and deceive people.
"Oh, wearisome condition of humanity,
Born under one law, to another bound;
Vainly begot, and yet forbidden vanity,
Created sick, commanded to be sound."

LOL. I needed work in the mid-'90s and got a position as a math and science teacher at a Waldorf school. Look up Rudolf Steiner sometime. Some of the curriculum made sense, but most of his theories were, simply put, BS. I tried reading his "Study of Man", and both times made it to page 38 before just stopping. He was selling a belief system, plain and simple, when he contradicts himself in those few pages.

Angels are supposed to be pure light according to the belief around here. They don't have any shape, gender... That's not scary, and easy to get used to. It would also be handy sometimes at home, I guess. Lol But yours look more fun though.

The Bible assigns male names to angels but that doesn't really matter if you look at how angels are typically depicted in art. If you are gonna make stuff up to believe in, you may as well make as you like it. I recall a survey where a vast majority actually believe they have a guardian.

Yep. Nailed it, lol.

[I should write something more substantial here as someone who had to study Christian iconography as a part of a veeery boring and long curriculum, but not necessary.]

Jessica's vote gets counted slightly more because her room is bigger than her two sisters, who share a smaller room.  Cause it wouldn't be fair for a smaller room to have an advantage over a larger room.

Also, rooms vote, not people.
