How did the "Bible-accurate angel" meme become so popular? Are people really fascinated by the idea that angels are just weird geometries with eyes? Feels like a half-hearted attempt to make Heaven seem eldritch because it couldn't keep up with the other genres.

The internet likes to flip stuff around so they can reinterpret it.

This is a really good reinterpeetation for a bunch type of memes and fanart.
Its very memetic and almost archetyipal.

The internet also has black and white autism , so when they discovred angels don't have to be winged men they went the other direction instaid.

The "bibically accurate angel" meme became popular because some guy on the Internet found out that the angels in Ezekiel are different then the way angels are depicted in most popular culture. Because this made him feel smart, he told someone else about. That person felt smart, they told another person. The cycle continued and soon all the normies on the Internet felt like they had debunked a massive misconception.

Another reason I think this meme became popular is because it gave Reddit-Atheists a reason to think they know more about the Bible than Christians do.
>Hur dur, Christians say that angels look like people with wings but their sacred texts says they akshually look like a weird monster! Hurdur Christ cucks don't know about their own book lmao

You know how Reddit Atheists are always like
>yOu KnOw JeSuS wAsN't akshually bOrN oN DeCemBer 25th?
It's like a modern version of that.
