RE Autism: The philosopher Leo Strauss created a logical fallacy called "reductio ad hitlerum" which is when someone equates a certain behavior to that of the Nazis (the nazis wear pants, you wear pants, ergo you're a nazi!!i1!11!1). I think many in this forum engage in "reducio ad autismum" in which any lolcow gets the "AUTISM" stamp when there's all sorts of lulzy disorders out there that produce lolcows. It's the same with Jace, who is mentally ill. Nick's not mentally ill--he's fucked in the head. Very fucked. I think the schizotypal diagnosis makes sense in some context, but there are other issues along with it. I think there are parts of his upbringing where he either got bad touched larry'd, locked in a basement for days, or spent some quality time with his own personal pastor faggot to pray the pedophilia away. I think he plays dumb to make himself look innocent so people don't realize how sick he is.
RE Religion: The more I think of it, I think Nick's ascribes to a Calvinist religion. These are the people who believe that God determines whether you're saved or going to hell from the moment you're born. He's mentioned many times about destiny and fate and it also explains how he can be religious and yet wish that he lived in Sodom and Gomorrah. He thinks he can violate every single commandment in the bible, because God already decided that he was going to heaven. He probably extended it to God deciding Anna was his wife and thus he is actually incapable of marrying anyone else other than her.
