well done for pointing at people who are different to you.
Here, perhaps if you educate yourself a little you won't be such a twat:

"... I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and His train filled the Hekhal (sanctuary). Above Him stood the Seraphim; each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew."

i said it was a load of arse
like 'long kiss goodnight' is a load of arse
it's fiction, and it doesn't even have the decency to make sense

just because it hasn't happened.

and what definitely doesn't make sense is going...
1) "This is all fiction!"
2) "How can they possibly see through wings that don't exist in the first place?!"

fiction still has to obey cause and effect or it's just a string of random words

quite a lot of fiction isn't internally consistent, yet it's still comprehenedable.
I mean, yeah, shit fiction, but it's still fiction.

a subset of angelic beings with human mothers?
the "watcher" angels?
the "sons of god"?
or a bunch or pasty face cowboy goths with a penchant for flour and electric hedgetrimmers?

I'm writing a short film about the Nephilim at the moment
but it'll probably turn out to be a serious rip-off of Hellraiser.

be sure to include a severed head in a barrel, lots of stalking through graveyards, cowboy hats and black & decker product placement.

I'd wager that if you ask someone who's making cherub things where cherubs are from, they'll say the bible.

then the bible, but I've read interpretations in many works of fiction. Then there are people who paint cherubs (fat babies with wings) with no religious conotation whatsoever in the artist's mind.
But the point is cherubism the medical condition is named after the chubby babies in paintings, not the original source of those images be they large men with spears or creatures like this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Human_headed_winged_bull_facing.jpg which is a Shedu and possible original basis for the Cherubim.
It's like a bit like calling a vaccuum cleaner a hoover when its a dyson.

I didn't know that was the name.
That's a lovely name. I know, probably not the nicest thing to have happen to you, but if I was going to have a condition, I'd want it to have a nice name.

It's like being born one eye and having your condition named cylcopism.
It's all just a bit harsh in my opinion.

something more medical sounding is more appropriate.
eg. people who can't move their legs are paraplegic, not limpleg-ism sufferers.
