Three more things. The first is that Balrogs could be looked at as being like dragons. There were dragons, and there were winged dragons. Another thing that I didn't think of before that actually helps my opposition. The moon was attacked by creatures that Morgoth sent, the moon was scorched forever after, leading one to believe that something flew up to get to the moon, and that that something was hot enough to scorch the moon. The third thing is Tolkien intended for ME and everything else he created to not be an allegory, and to not represent anything here on Earth today. So wouldn't you think that Balrogs were not meant to look like devils.
