Yes, I quit agree with you. It is difficult to discuss divine matters without terminology issues. At some point there's no other way but through analogy of some kind, I believe. I don't see a crime in finding likelyhood between two things, but for me it's rather a matter of further questions about roots and reasons (poor old Smeagol

) And if I wanted to work something out of this finding, I would rather ask why Tolkien used those characteristics typical for the disorder to describe the Father of All Troubles? Honestly, I am not ready to give an answer at the moment.
I am sorry, my comment was aborted for some technical reasons and I had to restore it.
