except that some schizophrenics hear voices inside their heads.
Schizophrenia translates into "split mind" which is a very inaccurate description of what it really is, which I believe is a lot of where the confusion occurs when people think schizophrenia and DID are akin.
DID = more than one person in the body Schizophrenia = psychotic disorder that can sometimes appear to be something like DID and/or BiPolar Disorder, etc. etc.
Schizophrenia as a (major psychotic) disorder has nothing to do with dissociation, or even other personalities, it's.. just sad that people are too ignorant to figure it out for themselves.
the best part of that article, spoof or not, what the 2nd paragraph I think? Stated: "Being a doctor and a practitioner of the fine art of psychoanalysis, I have been called of the Lord to confront these issues on a daily basis. "
Funny, yet sad, that the Doctor/psychoanalyst has no idea that he just made a false statement. *shakes head*
this world is so sad sometimes! No wonder I'd rather stay inside ;)
Fortunately, Landover Baptist is a spoof site. It's all just a big hoax. Quote from their "about" page: "The Landover Baptist Church is a complete work of fiction. It is a satire/parody." (http://www.landoverbaptist.org/tos.html)
Actually, that depends on the denomination. Only a very few fundamentalist denomiations still hold to the demon possession belief. Most now recognise that it is a viable "disorder"
Not in the United Methodist Church. They're so liberal they have reverends who study the Kabalah and they no longer refer to God as "He" or "Father." It's still a christian church, of course, but the ligatures are loosening here and there.
There are many issues to decide on like, would each personality being saved.. be responsible for a separate tithe to the church?
~giggles~
We could ask the question, “What if the one personality made a salvation decision and the other personality is a pagan, or a Catholic, or maybe even a Satanist? If that person dies while the satanic personality is presently dominant, will that person go to hell?
Heh. Emilia is Catholic, and we've had this very discussion with her on several occasions. :)
