https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-death_experience
being religious is simultaneously the easy and the hardest answer to accept
when you learn enough, you begin to start fearing that god and the afterlife might be a very real but indifferent force of nature that people have witnessed and recorded over the millenia
so you cling to religion in hopes that the afterlife really does have order and that you wont just be arbitrarily put in a state like hell because you were so depressed and self-hating in life
honestly maybe being atheist would be better for my mental health

Near-death experiences shouldn’t be taken seriously since your brain is basically dumping every chemical it has while it’s having its final melty.

theres been studies done on it though, and its shown that they're all extremely consistent in terms of what happens, and showing details from the real world that shouldn't be able to be obtained by someone unconscious

it's more comfortable to live without god or responsibility
you can have all the comfort/peace in the world and still find life intolerable, or be in pain but remain steadfast
there's something deeper than comfort
people have a measurably higher pain tolerance when holding the hand of their partner vs alone in a room
doesn't have to imply anything religious but still

consistency doesn't have to mean anything
if there's some observed wacky shit which happens to the brain during NDEs, it could produce the same sensations which the brain could fill in in a way which makes the most sense
i'm sure whatever you're talking about is more complicated, but for example, a common stroke symptom is scintillating scotoma, where you see a flashing, sort of like looking into a ceiling fan, in one or both eyes
idk

>scintillating scotoma
i've experienced that before, you bringing that up is making me want to throw up because of how badly i've been traumatized by a DXM overdose that caused maybe some kind of seizure or stroke or something, but i was too delerious to call 911 and nothing showed up on an mri scan later on and i looked perfectly fine (except in terms of stress) so the doctors said i just had a panic attack or some shit and acted like i was talking out of my ass
that experience is the second thing that terrifies me about this world, i'm scared that death will just be the same kind of noise and confusion i experienced during that overdose

apparently they can be caused by migraines as well
migraines are fucking weird and still not well-understood, but there's some sort of measurable "wave" of hyperactivity over the course of around 20 minutes travelling from one end of the brain to the other
they can be very severe sometimes, and all sorts of factors determine likelihood, what triggers them, etc
i'm sure there's epilepsy type shit as well
>and nothing showed up on an mri scan later on and i looked perfectly fine (except in terms of stress)
that's good it wasn't a stroke or anything atleast

but really, the noise and confusion you experienced was from a drug and nothing more
i know it can be scary in a lasting way to be confronted with something you're powerless against like that, to the point where it violates your ability to think, but you're not going to be forced to take that shit ever again against your will
and if you'd had a stroke, an MRI DEFINITELY would've picked it up, so don't worry about that

i mean the fact that it's like this
the concept of a study perverted to such a degree
i think it probably started with the psychoanalysts in the 1920s, when they helped companies create seemingly independent studies to show a product was healthy
they fucked everything up man

it was most likely a seizure i think, it happened any time i took psychedelics or weed aswell and i didnt really understand it, but the time it happened on dxm i really thought i was gonna die
>>23529636
sometimes i can feel it without the drugs though ever since that event, usually if i exert myself or get stressed, but sometimes for no reason at all
if i look at certain patterns my eyes wont focus on them right or they'll look kind of weird, a lot of optical illusion/hallucination type imagery causes way more intense of a visual distortion than it used to, sometimes i'll feel like i'm not getting enough air despite breathing normally, a few times i felt a sort of electric sensation running up my arm from where i touched something or down my scalp, i'll get vertigo in my sleep shortly before waking up, and several other issues
over the past few months its almost completely subsided but i still get hot flashes almost every day after work
i'm scared i'll have to go through all of that when my health ever gets bad again, and we all die someday so it feels inevitable, so some days i feel like i just wanna kill myself and get it over with, throw myself into the void, into the noise, hell, whatever
>>23529622
but we just dont remember what it was like before we were born, how do we not know that we werent taken out of the noise? after all our bodies are all made up of chemical structures that'll break apart and cause particles to flow out from us in every direction without order

You can't remember because you didn't exist yet. You're not going to get sucked into an eternal hell hole and tortured in "the noise" until your cloud of enlightened particles finds a new vessel to reincarnate into.

sorry, i kinda of derailed the topic from what i originally meant due to personal issues
i brought that stuff up because its genuinely how i felt though, i've experienced the noise and it felt so final, it felt endless, like i wasnt really all that there, just sort of experiencing some endless sensation of the world inverting and the fact that i was alive and somehow in control of my body not really making a difference
i also kind of wanted an excuse to talk about it to someone

Only the dumb ones claim god doesn't exist as a fact. You can, however, pretty safely say all religious texts aren't the will of some higher creator telling you how to live your life.

If you want to be particular. Though when it comes to most religions you can be so sure they aren't real that you can just say they aren't real. So it doesn't make sense to be agnostic to God because it would be like being agnostic to unicorns and fairies.
