Is it delusional simply because you have not experienced it?
If you have never experienced what others have, why claim they are delusional?

I just know from personal experience after eating meat for some reason I stop seeing god and start seeing what's before me, it all seems like the physical matter is lifeless, with no deeper meaning. That's just me personally, perhaps others- maybe from the DNA that maybe potentially effects us.

I have experienced what others have, particularly when it comes to the "good people who obey will live long, propser and a happy afterlife" delusion. We all have. I call that a delusion because there's no way to objectively prove it. Any positive evidence of it is completely anecdotal.
Yet, I go along with it, too, with my own variations. I don't think about my impending death and the uselessness of my existence all the time. I'd kill myself. So I settle for trying to accomplish ultimately pointless "goals" that get me up in the morning and keep me working at my job and driving on the appropriate side of the street.
But I know what it is.

Not saying that just the idea of it being 'wrong' isn't in line with reality because god willed it
So, there is no such thing as free will?

There you go. Ultimately pointless. You know that they will eventually get sick and die no matter what you do, right? Every last one of them. But you're convinced by instinct and society that it all matters. And if that gets you up out of bed in the morning, you get rewarded for it in various ways that keep you delusional. That's called "mental health."

I'm assuming you are trying to verify the validity to see if meat would actually still be in me, if you scientifically knew how long it was. The effect will last around 4 hours

Eating meat boosts dopamine levels, and when that happens, you begin to see the world unvarnished, as it really is. Of course God will fade away when that happens.

Yes, they will die. Yet, while they are here I can strive to make a good life for them.
I am convinced by love that that matters. Society plays no role in that.

One of my useless degrees is in Sociology, so I can tell you that society does indeed play a big role in that from the time you're a little tiny baby.
