What Will God do about People with Multiple Personality Disorder?
December 25, 2016 at 6:50 pm
The question occurred to me because I'm about to read Sybil.
whether Christian or Muslim. whether salvation by faith or works, the question comes up. One personality is Christian, one is Muslim, one has faith in Jesus, one is atheist, one does very good things to people and one does very bad things. If all these personalities exist in one body, how does a god decide whether to send them to heaven or hell?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Simple! God clones the person, and gives each and every personality their own body.
Then he sends them all to HELL because none of them are Mormon.

@ Gemini LOL should have emptied my bladder before reading. Oh well.

Split personalities are demons, of course. He exorcises the demons, and lets you into heaven.

I believe god needs some pigs to remove demons. And then the pigs run off with the demons.
Somehow . . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

God finds a psychopath with a gun and sets up a speed date.

When it comes to psychotic mental illness, each person is taken on a case by case basis, and it just depends on whether or not the "bad" is done while the person is fully aware of what they are doing. Much like our justice system tries to do with "innocent for reason of insanity."
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

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

God will do, in His goodness and mercy, what He has always done. Make a just and loving decision and treat the poor unfortunate with boundless compassion.....
pffffffffffffffffffff. Sorry couldn't keep a straight face. Gemini's right, of course - God sends everyone to hell.

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.
