Split-Brain: L-side atheist,R-side Theist, heaven or hell?

Post by Dionysus »

Vilayanur S. Ramachandran showcased a patient with a diagnosed with typical Split-Brain Syndrome. He suffered from epilepsy and as a result had to have the connection between both hemispheres cut. This resulted in the Split-Brain case that he now suffers from. However, when asked separately, the right hemisphere believed in god, the left one was an atheist. Under these conditions, does that person go to heaven or hell, strictly in a Judeo-Christian context?

N.B. Under Lab conditions, the left and right hemispheres can b asked separately, for more details, please refer to this video by Vilayanur S. Ramachandran: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFJPtVRl ... re=related
