my friend just "found god"

i just got a storm of text messages from a good friend of mine who apparently had a profound religious experience and is going to stop doing all drugs forever.
he was also my business partner, of sorts.
now before this moment he's been a trip buddy and a chill dude to be with, and we had all sorts of plans for this summer man....
oh and it's not just him, it's also another friend/tripper/chill dude who apparently had a mutural religious experience.
and he won't talk about it besides texting. which makes me a little 
i've know both of these guys for years
straight ridiculous.
they're going to be all pure because things like drugs and porn distract us from god who is a loving creator
but we're gonna meet up like tomorow and talk about it
i'm just like

but what are ya gonna do? have to let people do what they're gonna do
i just hope it'll make em happy

A friend of mine pulled one of those one time. Me and my other buddies pretty much made the conclusion that:
1. wasn't the brightest fellow. Didn't have a good grasp on reality. 2. He was extremely arrogant and always trying to be a "step ahead" or cooler than everybody else. 3. Did way to much acid in a 2 month period. 4. He found some hot christian bitch that was willing to fuck him.
things started to make more sense once we put those little facts together.

An old friend of mine did that to me. Well not really I lost track of him after highschool but back then it was all metal, beer, pot and LSD.
Then some years ago I found him on myspace and I kept getting all the christian bulletins and shit. Still a cool guy but i think that was one of the reasons I killed my myspace thing. Haven't seen or heard from him in years.

if hes tripping right now, and you talk to him about it tomorrow, he will likely have changed his mind 
one time i "found god" ... but not really god more like i had a super spiritual experience ... but anyway i was profoundly changed at the time as a person and the next morning i woke up and its like nothing ever happened.
though i did retain some of that trip. during that trip i decided that i would no longer do drugs other than psychedelics.
i got offered free coke at a party recently and managed to turn it down. i was proud of myself.

that sucks man... I've seen this happen to people, and once the mysticism of the profound experience wears off, your friend will likely realize he's being a dumbass. It might take a while though.
Shit, it happened to me! I was a pretty "dedicated christian" from the time I was 18 til almost 20. I realized that I was believing in nonsense and started believing in myself, and ever since my life has been 
Still, it took me a couple of years to find my way.

Whats wrong with your friend being religious?
Was he your friend because you did drugs together or because you were friends?
Drug buddies aren't friends. If this is what he wants and you're a true friend you just continue being his friend like you always have.

Beware of the "finding god" types, especially if you grow shrooms. I always fear that one day his god may tell him to dial 911 and report your sins to the police.

Do you think drugs are good? Like do you think people should do them because they can really benefit people?
Some trips can offer you something. But for the most part people take drugs to "get fucked up". They are rarely used as tools and rarely help people.
It sucks you can't trip with him, but maybe this will benefit him.

do you know the details around how he "found god"? did he happen to attend some sort of crazed evangelical church where they had a highly emotional service (music is all highly emotional and the preachers are masters of storytelling and manipulation) and he felt "called out" on "sin in his life"?
get the details, this will help to determine what level of insanity you are dealing with.
and i don't mean to pry, but is your friend going through some rough shit in his life right now? some things that are out of his control (divorce, fucked up family life, recent break up, etc.)?
i ask all this because i've seen many friends go through this experience in the past and almost every time it's because they can't find the "answers for life" within themselves.
modern day evangelical christianity has concocted an entire religion based off of the premise that jesus has all the answers, all you gotta do is come to their church, read this book, listen to this music, hang out with these people, sing this song and then you're life will be on the path of righteousness.
shits scary.

LOL. You felt pure consciousness so now you believe in god, ludicrous. You should be ashamed of yourself. Reminds me of the christians who claim they used to be atheist in attempt to persuade people they're "enlightened" give me a fucking break. State your current beliefs and that's all, because the "i used to be an atheist" card just makes you look like a jackass.

The problem with all of this is there are multiple god's being discussed here.
Most people interpret 'god' as that old man, jealous and totalitarian, father figure tyrant character that the fucking church has pushed for years.
Few others are talking about the force the moves the universe. If your friend had connection with that force, then awesome. If he's chasing after that santa claus in a garb, get him help immediately

I think that most people who go through that should realize that maybe the only reason they got there in the first place was drugs and alcohol, going sober is never going to get you there. Keep on running down that rabbit hole and then you'll get some results.

There are usually a couple reasons why people become religious.
-They're lonely and want to feel a sense of community. -They want to believe it, so they do. -They're doing it for alternative reasons. (women, power, superiority, money etc.)
True story: My father didn't go to church for 10 years. He and my mother separate. Suddenly he's religious again with a girlfriend of the same faith.

Not exactly modern day Christianity exclusively, lots of modern and ancient monotheistic religions have done pretty good jobs in this regard.
Scientology is a fantastic modern example.
Definitely doesn't make it any less scary, for sure. Once radical monotheism learns how to manifest Facebook correctly it's gonna get lethal and interesting.

i never eluded to christianity being the "only" religion that follows the pattern i laid out. christinaity just happened to be the religion we are discussing in this thread.
i agree with you about scientology.
