What Will God do about People with Multiple Personality Disorder?

[brewer]

And historically the religious didn't shun/kill the mentally inflicted?

[ignoramus]

I believe that If just one of the personalities can ask for forgiveness on behalf of all the other psycho axe murderers, then they all should get off!
I cannot imagine an all loving God throwing the innocent personality to the lake of fire for eternity willy nilly! lol!

[chimp3]

And if god finds that one personality is innocent but another is guilty, how does he send each to his just reward?

We're talking here about a person with a psychotic illness. It's not each "personality" thay gets judged. It's the person themselves.

As I said, much like our justice system evaluates a person's condition to determine their awareness and thus their guilt, so too will God.

Or.....Perhaps your wrong !

Sure. But the question was posed to theists about what we believe, so I answered.

Well being a guy who is also his own son and some sort of holy ghostly spirit-like creature.... I'm pretty sure he can relate. So he'll probably do fuck all. At least that's what he usually does.

I wouldn't rule out God imposing MPD on someone as a punishment of some sort. And that would argue for the 'original' personality being damned and the rest being subsumed when appropriate.

@OP Q.

You mean, more than what he's already done to them, if the god botherers are to be believed?

God judges the heart of people not the brain where mental illness takes place. Let me give you an example though I know most here will ignored it to various degrees.
My wife and I have a young lady who lives with us and is in our care. At the age of 30 she developed schizophrenia, this on top of being born mentally challenged. Her parents could not control her and became afraid of her and she was institutionalized 400 miles away with no one there familiar to her and know one familiar to comfort her. A state worker from this area that knew her brought her back here to be put in private care under the state. The agency and the people who were suppose to care for her just exasperated her condition, so she remained violent and unchanged. She basically was being tossed to the world with little care or concern. If you have been reading closely you will have noticed I haven't mention love towards her and up to this point in her life 5 years had elapsed since she had developed schizophrenia. My wife knew about her and decided to take a chance with her so she brought her home, with state and agency approval. For the first six months my wife was having trouble with her even with all the love she could give her. One day my wife was having trouble with her and they both got angry with each other, so I separated them. I took this young lady aside and talked with her telling her how much my wife loved her, I could see in her eyes something was wrong, I asked her if she was hearing voices again (this was not uncommon over the six months we had her), I asked her what they were saying. Turns out they were telling her to hurt herself, this occurring and she only has the understanding of a 5 year old child. I began to pray for her as I was talking to her. Trying to get her to understand how much we loved her. All the time asking God to help her and to take away the voices. All of a sudden she broke down and started crying, crying in sorrow and joy at the same time. She laid he head on my chest and continued this uncontrollable crying while I was still praying for her. When she finally stopped I asked her about the voice, she said they were gone. She immediately went to my wife and hugged her and told her she was sorry. To this day, 2 years later she has only heard the voices a very few times. When she does we pray and the voices immediately cease. All the people that have known her in the past say they can't believe the changes they see in hear, they say this isn't the same person they had known in the past. They find her a delight to be around, joy and love abounds in her now and her medicines for her schizophrenia have been reduced quite a bit and her doctor says he wants to reduce them even to the point where she no longer takes any if possible. Now I know many if not all of you will find some excuse to deny what I witnessed and it was this, God the Holy Spirit came upon this precious one and started a great work in her and continues to this day. It was one of the most awesome things I've ever seen God do, yes its a miracle and I'm blessed to have been included in God's plan for my little girl. If you had witnessed these events you too would not be able to find a explanation for her change, you wouldn't admit God had worked in her life, but you couldn't find a rationalized reason either, no one else has been able too.
So you see, well probably not, God will care for the mentally ill when someone loves enough and believes enough that He will help. I thank God for giving me the faith to ask for His help and the faith to believe He would.

Of course it was god, no other explanation.

I think I might throw up.

if we just believe hard enough we can cure anybody of anything
