Writing the whole thing as if you’re demon explaining why empathy is bad to another demon is very distracting from the point.

Why not just explain it as if you and the reader are both humans?

because they're copying a popular book CS Lewis wrote. Of course CS Lewis say what you will about him wouldn't support a conclusion that insane

Because religious zealots have to conceal their shitty ideas in layers of abstraction to avoid confronting how terrible and hypocritical they are
