Religion like science are the same in this regard


I think religion is more useful than science. So far science only gave us global warming and rising rates of autism. Religion helps cure autism, but not always. Science fixes nothing tho. More science, more problems.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average life expectancy at the beginning of the 20th century was 47.3 years. A century later, that number had increased to 77.85 years, due largely to the development of vaccinations and other treatments for deadly diseases. Of course, vaccines and treatments only work if they're given, which is why many of these diseases still persist in poorer, developing countries. Despite the success of vaccines, only one of these diseases -- smallpox -- has been erased from the globe.

I confess I don't really get how these disparate religions of yours are compatible. Yahweh explicitly says his followers can have no other gods.

Yeah, and one part of me has no other Gods except Yahweh, so one part of me is a true follower of Yahweh God or Godhead.

Did that really benefit us? Now we just have more old people and more incapable people to burden the economy, along with expensive healthcare to burden us further. But some people prefer socialist healthcare because they think being socialist is cool.

I don't think Yahweh buys soul stock. He wants the whole thing.

And part of me is a whole thing which follows him. So part of me is Christian, and part of me is follower of Old testament. Not all people need to be Christians. I am just more people in one. I think its called multiple personalities.

What exactly doesnt make sense? I have a maximally great brain, so of course I can have multiple persons inside it. I know other people are limited to 1 person per brain, but that isnt an issue I have. My brain can have a lot of persons. this isnt anything complicated.

The experience of having "multiple people residing in one's brain" can refer to a number of concepts, ranging from a serious mental health condition to a philosophical or a normal psychological phenomenon of conflicting thoughts

Mental Health Condition

The primary mental health condition related to this concept is:

  1. Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID): Formerly known as multiple personality disorder, DID is a condition where an individual has two or more separate identities (referred to as "alters") that control their behavior at different times. Each identity may have distinct behaviors, memories, and thought patterns, often resulting in amnesia or gaps in memory for the individual. DID is typically a defense mechanism caused by severe childhood trauma, allowing the person to disconnect from reality and traumatic experiences. 

If you or someone you know experiences symptoms like memory gaps or feeling disconnected from yourself, consulting a mental health professional is important for proper diagnosis and support. 

Normal Psychological Experiences

Most people do not have DID, but they may experience a sense of "multiple voices" in their head in the following ways:

  1. Internal Monologue/Conflicting Thoughts: It is normal to have conflicting thoughts or an internal dialogue, where different "parts" of one's mind debate decisions or actions. This is a sign of a healthy, complex brain processing information and is not a sign of a disorder.
  2. "Neuroclusters" Model: In neuroscience, some models suggest the brain is composed of many independent "modules" or neuroclusters of thought. The "main personality" is the neurocluster that usually has access to the body's actions, while others may be "autonomous" but not separate personalities in the clinical sense. 

Neurological and Philosophical Concepts

Other interpretations of this idea include:

  1. Split-Brain Patients: Individuals who have undergone a corpus callosotomy (surgery that severs the connection between the brain's left and right hemispheres, a last resort for severe epilepsy) may exhibit behaviors suggesting two separate, independent consciousnesses are present, at least to some degree. The left hemisphere, which usually controls language, may be unaware of actions performed by the right hemisphere, which can lead to one hand performing an action that the other hand has to explain with a fabricated story.
  2. Philosophical Discussions: The findings from split-brain research have led to philosophical debates about personal identity and whether it is possible for more than one person to inhabit a single body. 

In summary, while a person cannot medically have multiple distinct people residing in their brain in a literal sense, the experience of multiple internal "voices" or identities can be related to treatable mental health conditions, a result of unique neurological circumstances, or part of normal human cognition.

You forgot to list greater demonic possession as one of causes for multiple persons. Demonic persons are persons too.

What doesn't make sense is that Christianity traditionally believes in one soul per brain, so there is not a world where part of you can go to heaven and part to hell.

When is a mental health condition not a mental health condition?


I would suggest that everyone develops a mental health condition.


Maybe we collectively agree that some mental health conditions are worse than the collective's.


But a separate collective might agree that the mental health of another collective is worse.


So which current dictator has the better or worst mental health condition?


Mr Putin, Mr Trump, Mr Un or Mr Jinping.

No, and I am exception, I have more souls per brain. So some of my souls go to Heaven hopefully.

A lot of things dont make any sense to you because you are old. Dementia makes it so that your brain becomes degraded, brain incapable of understanding much.

As an ineffective Bosnian pugilist who has been beaten up 5000 times, it is more likely that your brain has been degraded more than mine.

My brain is still maximally great brain, because I am not old. You, however, are very old. Everything old person says should be taken as dementia talk.

Maximally great brain punched 5000 times = Dementia


65 year old brain never punched = Maximal wisdom.

It is the dementia of youth thinking age is the only mother of dementia.


Worse is that as soon as one claims humility, it has fled.


Youth has some advantages; one of them is not experience.

Youth are not resistant to dementia. Look at the number of youth voters supporting Trump.

Recent research indicates that older adults today are more cognitively capable than previous generations. A meta-analysis revealed that cognitive performance in older adults has improved over time, with better memory, verbal fluency, and cognitive speed compared to earlier cohorts. This suggests that older individuals are not only maintaining their cognitive functions but may also be enhancing them through various means such as lifelong learning and social engagement.


I am as old as Trump and like Trump all I think about is having sex with young women (40 to 50 year old women.)

I have never seen a smart old person. Maybe one smart old person exists, but I am yet to observe such old person. All old persons I saw were either incapable of absorbing new knowledge, or incapable of basic logic. these arent good things. their brain degraded.

Nope, not me. I live in and make use of a state allowing conceal/carry for my safety. And I'm 6'3", 210 lbs. Not many will compete with that for my "wallet," which is inaccessible in any event, and locked and must be destroyed to open without a digital key, thus destroying anything of value, and I carry little cash. I do get out, frequently, and have never been rolled or threatened.

You are 62 years old and haven’t figured out life yet. You even declared, “Maybe the universe was created maybe it wasn't, no one knows. ” Let us know when you are convinced you exist.
