The ancient religious texts of the monotheistic religions posit the theory that humans are literal dualities of body/flesh and soul/spirit/mind.

So - as the brain researcher asked - does one part of your allegedly separate "spiritual self" go to heaven and one part to hell, based on their disagreement on whether a god makes sense or not? Which part of the patient's brain believes in god? - I'm guessing the immature or childish part - or perhaps the reptilian part.
