Formerly known as multiple personality disorder.

Even though more than two distinct personalities are possible, for ease we'll just say two.

One is a Christian, "saved" and the whole package. The other is an Atheist, and -because christians seem to hate them so much - a homosexual. One should obviously go to heaven, the other hell.

The body dies. What do you suppose happens?

Everyone goes to heaven... only to find that they're dead.

I do not see any problem about this: When you are 'forced' to believe something, your belief is not valid either. So you think someone born in a moslim country, or with atheist parents, would be condemned to go to hell?

That is ancient belief of people who do not think about everything, who do not look in other beliefs to check whether it is consistent what they 'believe in'.

A person with a DID remains a person, you can call him 'we' even, as well as i oftenly call myself 'we' because i feel comfortable with a lot of types in 'the' Enneagram you find on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enneagram_of_Personality

My story about hell and heaven is the following, but believe your own thing if you cannot attach it to your own memories and what you've gone thrue:

1. If someone dies, you remember that person with 'aging' anymore, without changing, getting older, sicker...
2. If someone dies (like i did when i was a small kid), you start with deep sorrow and then with an extreme deep feeling of 'rest'. That is the reason that i promised to do my utterly best the rest of my life, which is already a very long time since then now. So i will keep at moment of dying the same level also as you knew me for me as i know myself now. So for me, yes, it is heaven, because i live in heaven (though i had to pass 7 hells in life to get from one hell to another heaven to the next hell and so on...

But remember, this is how my lives all got together in one live (i do not see lives before my bearth and am a very, almost extreme rational being), and i learned that everyone has to check all information with himself, with herself, with itself.

3. If there would be nothing when dying, i would be even more glad. Then there is nothing to worry and also then i would have made the same promise to to a little bit... more... enormeously my best in regards with other 'normal' people... Being atheist or not makes NO difference towards my dying. It perhaps makes a change with living.

Nothing.

What happens to the snowflake when it melts?

The good news is that there isn't any eternal torment. The bad news is that there isn't any eternal anything else either. Or a soul to be be eternal for that matter.

I remember matt D mentioning a "split brain" person, who had to have the two sides of their brain separated to save their life. One half became an atheist, and the other half theist. True story, I believe.

I've no idea how the arbitrary religious rules would handle this! Some kind of magical split probably, or else damn the whole for the sins of a part.

An individual is either entirely saved or not. Intermediate or hybrid states would constitute an unsaved condition.

For folks in the catholic orbit suffering from the aforementioned maladies, it is incumbent upon them to seek out the CORRECT shrine and/or saint BEFORE they die to effect the appropriate miraculous healing.

Protestants, apparently, are fucked in this regard.
