I\\\'m mainly confused why someone would think that the \\\"peddlers of influence,\\\" the \\\"half-breeds\\\" are former humans.
The nice suit/boardroom demon claims to have been \\\"born of fire;\\\" Gabrielle, by contrast, talks about \\\"you\\\" (humans) and the potential for post life reward we apparently have as if it has never been one of us, not sure how you get that it was a good Christian (human) woman from that. Also John feels the need to explain,\\\"that\\\'s pain, get used to it,\\\" like Gabe is totally unfamiliar with being flesh.
I know this movie had a few contradictory cuts and it would not surprise me if there is some All There in the Manuel or Unreliable Narrator aspect I\\\'m missing.

On an unrelated note, we seem to be doing a lot of unsourced flat statements about what various very broad anthropological groupings believe, like we were on the Other Wiki-people in these groups disagree about who is in which group, the exact taxology of the subject and a Host (pun) of other things. This seems kind of silly as differences in theology are what causes a lot of Broken Base splintering of religious groups....and it ignores the point of this Trope, mainly, that different sources classify, describe and divide Angels differently.
We should talk about what one particular work says and how it differs from others, not make statements of authority.

Also, has anyone a copy of the short story \\\"The Magistry of Angels?\\\" The psychopomps-airline stewardesses are referred to as angels and I think should included here as a good example of each author trying to be distinctive. For that matter, Peter Lord-Wolf\\\'s \\\"Silence in Heaven\\\" and definitely Sulliman Rushtie\\\'s \\\"The Satanic Verses,\\\" definitely provide clear examples that my n00b ass would be compelled to include if I recalled them any better.
