    So where did these people go? Did their souls leave their body before a physical death?
    The mind is definitely linked to the physical body, as many physical extremes can and have made people go completely crazy. There is also emotional abuse and neglect that affects a person's mind that changes and shapes their personality and actions.

    The word soul is pretty confusing for me.

    It really is a sort of riddle. It is really hard to answer. I will think on it and see if I can give a better reply tomorrow. I think I have been awake too long. I am on my umpteenth cup of coffee right now. I will reply again in the morning. But the short answer is I wouldn't call it anything. Good thread by the way.
    We are all brothers and sisters in humanity. We are all made from the same dust of stars. We cannot be separated because all life is interconnected.

    The word soul is pretty confusing for me.
    Since this is the religion section I will answer your concerns by the Bible. If I were to get in a bad car accident next week, brain dead or couldn't remember anyone I am still saved. I worked with Alzheimer's, dementia, insane, and even murderers at one time or another. Those nurses forgot to say the biggest reason they don't visit is because their love one doesn't recognize them anymore. If they do most don't remember the visit. Some get yelled at or screamed at and people like me had to go and explain to them, this is your daughter or son because they see us more and trust us. It can be very upsetting to their love ones. This had nothing to do with how good or bad the person was before.
    Now a severed mind is something different. In Romans 1 it is God that gives them over to a reprobate mind, they can be physically healthy. Possession, He gives some examples but it doesn't always apply to everyone.
    So where did these people go? It depends and it has nothing to do with if a person was good or not so good of a person. If they were reprobate then they are already condemned. Just because the person has Alzheimers doesn't mean they are not saved any more than a person in a bad car wreck. Every time in the Bible when He said give up the ghost, it's when the body died.

    Do you really have a soul? Yes....
    Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I digress....
