I lost my Soul

[Brian37]

Ever read about what M.S does to the nerves?
It is literally your Immune System attacking your Central Nervous System, so it makes the nerves affecting the mood damaged in a way. So it is a kind of life-long chronic fate, with a depression you cannot escape: it has physical reasons; atop of all of that are the psychological reasons that make the condition so grim.

Believe me, I know what depression is. Don't let my young age fool you.

Atlas, I work at a hospital. I've been working in medicine for over a decade, and in that time I have literally typed over 50,000 reports --

-- including thousands of neurology reports.

A gentle hint, Atlas:  Do not, I repeat, do not attempt to bullshit me or anyone else here regarding  that particular subspecialty.  I know people with MS, I know a doctor who treats it, I know the difference between relapsing-remitting, primary progressive and secondary progressive MS, and I know what drugs are used to treat it.

I strongly advise you to not mix up mythology with medicine.  Keep them rigorously separate at all times, as is proper.

Great advice for all followers of every religion. Great advice for Muslims and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists and Christians and any religion one can think of.

Scientific method is a tool, not a holy book, not a religion. It is why medical research companies adapt a flu vaccine every year to the evolving virus, and that vaccine will work on any human in the world regardless of their personal beliefs. It is why planes fly in the sky regardless of the nation they fly over. It is why a computer works no matter the personal religion of the user.

While it is certainly true, humans with religious degrees can hold scientific degrees, scientific method itself is not there to point to any one club or prop up any god claim. Scientists with personal religious beliefs have to compartmentalize and cherry pick to keep those bad claims. 

The most recent trend over the past couple centuries by theists of all religions is to try to split the baby and call science and religion separate but equal. No, not even remotely equal. On top of Dawkins "God Delusion". Two other books , "God The Failed Hypothesis", but also "The New Atheism", by Victor Stenger go into why humans make up these bad claims. But especially "The New Atheism" Victor argues, and I agree, there is no splitting the baby, and that science DOES have something to say about god claims.
