God cubed?

An earlier email exchange with M. Simon over stuff I hate to argue about got me thinking about the people who claim to have found God in a sugar cube (as the result of ingesting LSD).

Are they hopelessly deluded fools? 

Because of underlying assumptions, analyzing this problem is difficult. However, it strikes me that for those who believe in LSD as God, (not quite as ridiculous as it seems, for if God exists, then God arguably exists in all things) then God might be discerned in a good trip or a bad trip.

But just as it is possible to believe in God with or without LSD, it is also possible to disbelieve, or doubt God, with or without LSD. If you believe in God, how would revelations believed to have been achieved via the ingestion of LSD be evaluated? Does God have an opinion about LSD? Let’s suppose you believe that the God as “revealed” by ancient texts written by men and declared by authoritarians to be true is irredeemably contaminated by proof problems. If God does not exist, all analysis is moot, and clearly those who believe he reveals himself are deluded. If God does exist, then the problem is more complicated, for it entails first believing that a spiritual being might reveal himself or itself, and only then deciding which of the revelations claimed to have been received are correct.

Why would one ancient text be more controlling than another? And why would revelations which Muhammad thought were from God (which were later written down in the Koran) be more controlling than revelations which someone who ingested LSD thought were from God? Simply because the former are more popular? 

If God does not exist, the answer is easy; both are equally deluded.

If God does exist, both the Koran and the Cube could still be equally delusional.

I think atheism can come from a sugar cube just as easily as from religious texts.

Delusions beget delusions.

As to the best way to experience infinity and find the unknown, that’s what we’re all dying to find out.
