As an aside, it surprises me that the pompous ass, Brian Ross never picked it up... It took an atheist to notice.   Grin

Just for the record, I reiterate. I am not an Atheist, Agnostic, or whatever the God Freaks call themselves.

To be fair to Yadda, there is no space on forum, to discuss Christianity, or Judaism, even though Islam, Atheism and Spiritualism are covered.   

Perhaps Yadda, you could run a members board.

I'm surprised none of the Christian clans-folk have raised this  mild injustice, as an issue.. previously.



The Spirituality board is run as a Christian board. Perhaps they just [falsely] assume that spirituality = Christianity because all the other religions are wrong, only their one is the true religion.

1/ "brain injury.....can have massive changes in personality"

Nope.
No, i don't accept that that conclusion, is at all certain or proven.



Well I've provided 2 examples showing that it DOES in my reply #61. If you google
brain injury personality change
you will see that this is an accepted medical phenomena.


Yadda wrote on Nov 21st, 2017 at 11:45am:
Your argument is that if the brain or the physical body is destroyed then the personality of an individual will be irrevocably lost or changed ?

Though our physical body [in this world], is that 'thing' which makes us readily recognisable, as an individual, to those around us,
i would argue, that our physical body does not 'possess' any intimate connection, or influence, upon the essence of who we are.

i.e.
To our personality.



There are numerous examples of our physical body affecting our personality. Puberty is the most obvious. Hormones released by the body not only produce physical changes but they also produce personality changes.
Menopause - another hormonal change that produces changes in personality.
Dementia - a physical deterioration of the brain which doesn't just cause loss of memory, it also causes personality changes. Drugs - (both illicit and prescription) can cause personality and mood changes.
Mental illness has also been shown to often be caused by chemical imbalances in the brain.

There is ample evidence that our personalities rely heavily on the physical processes of our physical body.

ARGUMENT;
If after a brain injury, a person is unable to urinate normally,
is that demonstrable disability, proof of 'massive changes in personality' ?

Of course it isn't.



No that is a physical change. Brain injury can cause both physical disabilities and mental disabilities.

Your argument is not relevant

Yadda wrote on Nov 21st, 2017 at 11:45am:
ARGUMENT;
Although one human body, has very many similarities with every other human body [excluding the aspect of gender],
and yet, our habits, as individuals, can be, extremely 'diverse'.

Why is that ?



We may be externally quite similar but it is the body's internal processes which are important. By definition you can't see the internal processes and you can't see the hormones which can have such an effect on our mood and personality.

Your argument is irrelevant

Barnacle is right.
Effects on both Mind and Body affect Personality in a person.
From illicit drugs/alcohols to the types of foods you eat (because the gut is like a 2nd brain) - they all have a bearing on one's personality.
