    I could go to town on your whole post but this final line of yours really spells it out for me. Lucifer truly is your brother from another mother (and I bet you'd take pride in that if it was actually true).

    Such a logical leap of absurdity is one I'm thankfully unable to make as, I have posited, to "understand" the demon/devil may well be to become it/him. Thus, by the grace of the almighty, I am literally incapable of parsing your "logic" as it were.

    Oh I can, in a hypothetical sense, but not in that "visceral" sense I made mention to in my relevant responses. I can "understand" Satan in a sense, but I cannot ever truly "get" Satan if ya catch my meaning. Can you truly "get" the likes of me? An ILI who is fervently religious? Who sees the deniers of Christ as hopelessly misguided at best and demonically obsessed/possessed at worst? Can you even cross yourself if even mockingly? I am curious. After all, my faith is only rivaled in fervency by my bottomless desire for hard data relevant to my many and myriad hypothesis regarding the truths of this reality

    ILIs who've drunk too deeply from Ni aren't particularly rare. Ne is the one that a reputation for weirdness but I don't know any Ne people who've gone so completely off the rails as Ni people.

    Hm, depends. I'm positive my mom is LSE, so Ni PoLR, and she is the most batshit off the rail I've seen. I think any type can fly off the edge, but might very well end up looking Ni.
    I know my mom would look ILI superficialy. She would likely looooove being Ni, it would flatter her.

    Awe. I haven't seen an off-the-rails LSE. Of course they exist, as it exists in every type. Personally all the LSEs I know are stable. Do you know in what way she is unstable, like, Narcissism?

    You think that allowing evil to happen is not evil, but you cannot explain why "Lucifer" is evil.

    I don't deny Christ. I just have not been shown sufficient evidence.

    Why don't you define "Christ" first, and provide evidence for those properties?
