A long rant to agree with me. As I said to begin with stereotypically teachings and the bible two very different things.
As for your continued arguing about The Satan a human with basic education you should understand linguistics and the entomology of words.
This isn't a faith based thing, The word Satan comes from the Hebrew word Ha Satan which is in the original hebrew texts of the old testment. It's not some philosophical or religious debate. It's the study of language.
"Its because that's what biblical teachings have taught them they look like" and "what the bible says and what stereotypical christian teachings expunge are two very different things" are contradictory statements. On one hand you've initially stated that cherubim are perceived the way they are due to biblical teaching, then on the other you say that it's not a biblical teaching but rather what's stereotypically taught as Christianity (but is in reality false Christianity). You can't rightfully have it both ways.
The bible has to be the most scrutinized book of all time. "The Satan" hasn't been included in English bible translations in reference to Satan's name, even after translation after translation from many different and independent sources have gone over it shows that "The Satan" isn't and never has been a Christian teaching.
'Ha Satan" means "The adversary". It's referring to Satan by pointing out what Satan is to God - the adversary - not the calling upon of Satan by name. You're pushing a Jewish belief deliberately out of context. Hebrew to English translations don't include 'ha' or 'the' when referring to Satan by name because it isn't a Christian teaching. These linguists for translators seem to understand context better than you.
