As I mentioned, I was raised an athiest, I learned about evolution, physics, natural selection, ect, and I had no formal indoctornation with religion of any kind.
If anything, this experience was a secular NDE. (I have sleep apnea and it could very well have been a NDE).
The very fact that I was raised an atheist, and now I have a firm belief in both the existance of god and an afterlife is evidence to the power of the experience I had that day.
No science fiction here- I'm dead serious with this post.
Doubtful it was a near death experience. There's a pretty defined set of experiences that your body and mind will go through.
I'm sure you're serious with your post but it sounds like you're looking for something more in your life and you're putting it into religion rather than into action. The false buddha problem.
Something you may have experienced, though was an SPS...a simple partial seizure.

I used to have many SPS episodes when I was younger, and not as many now, except in dreams.

No I won't. If you read and understood the content of my original post you would see that God did not judge me, he simply acknowledged my circumstances and faults and let me judge myself. There was no punishment for anything I ever did, only understanding and acceptance. (Despite the fact that I was expecting judgement and punishment)
Anyways, I used copy and paste from a file on my computer to make the post. I don't know why the formatting did not transfer over with the copy and paste? Some mysteries of the Universe I don't think I'll ever be able to understand.

It seems interesting. I stumbled across it during some of my various researchings for my psychonaut explorations. Not that it's a good thing to have...but rather, it shows just how unreliable our own senses can end up being at times.
I also read somewhere that SPS episodes tend to be a more frequent problem for people on the spectrum.
