Anyway, the point of this thread is about you guys, too. Are you going to seek comfort in spirituality if you're faced with death or total annihilation?
I cannot say for sure untill i die, but i do not think so.
When people close to me have died in the past i definately did not turn to any god, rather i got really mad when people were telling me crap like "He/she is in a better place now" or "She/he is probably sitting on a cloud looking down on us".
Bullshit.
However, my use of psychedelics have led me to encounter "things" i cannot fathom, things that made me doubt my atheist standpoint.
I dont think theres any gods or spirits or anything like that, maybe reincarnation is a natural mechanism, who knows? I surdenly dont, and i do like thinking about the endless possibilities of whats going to happen when you die, though most likely, nothing will happen, you just die.
And i am at peace with that.
