Demons are not the same species as djinn. Demons are the souls of the Nephilim destroyed in the flood and Djinn were created as Djinn by Allah.

ok for you....suffer.
This religion is custom made to fit all sizes.
That is most noble. Suffer so that others will not suffer alone. Though, I suspect that you will want to be alone with your embarrassing and painful pain and wont be of much use to easing real suffering. In fact you will ask others to forgo their suffering to witness yours.
BUT, if it makes you happy.
be merry in your suffering.

The Rephaim were not mystic magic people.

Or stop pretending you are any authority to send anyone to hell like sparky posting below you.

7. What is meant by ‘Shaytan’ in the Noble Qur’an?
The word Shaytan is derived from the roots (شطن) and شاطن means 'impure and base'.
Shaytan refers to an entity that is rebellious - irrespective of whether it is of the humans, jinn or animals. It is also said to mean 'a nefarious soul, who is distanced from Allah (s.w.t.) and Truth'; all of these meanings, in reality, can be observed to be turning back to one common element.
It should be noted that Shaytan is a 'common noun' whereas Iblis is a 'proper noun'. In other words, every harmful, deviating and rebellious entity - human or otherwise - is referred to as Shaytan. Iblis is the name of that Shaytan, who deceived Adam and even presently, together with his soldiers and forces, lies in ambush of the humans.
From the usage of this word in the Qur’an, it can also be inferred that Shaytan is used to denote a harmful being - one who has deviated from the right path and has embarked upon a mission of distressing others; an entity that attempts to create division, discord and corruption, just as we recite:
إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يُوقِعَ بَيْنَكُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَ الْبَغْضَاءَ
“Surely Shaytan only desires to cause enmity and hatred to spring in your midst.”1

If I did that I would be as insane as you. Why on earth would I waste my time doing nonsense if I can better spend it learning about gamma rays, the nature of photons, the psychology of the human condition, the history of my people, the various permutations of an idea through culture and time?
