I do not believe in God in any way.

However, a large dose of psychedelics brings out that sense of commune with a Godhead.

Thoughts?

Oooh, that's not a very good faith strategy.  Might as well believe since if you're right, eternal reward and if you're wrong, oh well, at least you played it safe.

The psychadelic bit probably isn't a good idea.  God knows what's in your heart and if you really care about him/his Son or not(if he exists;)).

Ok GnuBobo. Almost every time I hear the statement "I don't believe in GOD" it is usually only said to get attention. Seeing that you have 42K posts on a message board that is apparently populated with people who don't appreciate that kind of nonsense (INTJ + INTP) and have a high rating, there must be another reason behind your comment.

So, if you'll indulge in my curiosity, what is your reason?

To be fair, Ill go ahead and respond to your post as it is written.

I think that humans suffer from an inferiority complex resulting from our inherent fallibility. Some very smart people a long time ago recognized this (though probably not in those terms) and created the concept of an omnipresent, omnipotent being that will punish us for doing things 'the creators of god' found to be detrimental to the survival of our species. After that, it was only a matter of convincing people through pseudo-correlating evidence. Religion and the concept of God is an archaic tool that we imposed upon our (then) primitive (by comparison) minds as an attempt to bring peace and order to the world by making people police themselves out of fear of eternal torture or other miserable fate after death. Psychedelics may or may not 'unlock' a form of communication with Carl Jung's "Collective Subconscious" which may or may not exist. The bottom line, as far as anyone can prove right now, is psychedelics play tricks on your mind and could lead to a temporary fulfillment of our inferiority complex by leading us to some sort of mental 'proof' that there is a perfect being watching over us and influencing our corrupted, god-forsaken reality.

I believe in a higher power but those religions are krazy faces.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that 'God', as a concept, has been programmed into your mind. You can't forget it and psychedelics pulled it to the forefront.

Could well be something like that. On has an unusual experience that is outside of usual experience and they need to pin it on something supernatural.

My wise friend once said to me "I would have no problem with the notion of God if he was a grub, but they say he is a King!" I laughed my ass off. True that. My creator is a grub. My creator is the sky. Shrooms make me feel more connected with everything. Yhey don't make me feel like there is some mystical man in the sky with a list of rules.

Peace
