Oh, Yeah, you definitely want to do a clearing after being around that kind of hopeless, repressed rage. If he's feeling disconnected from god while at the brink of death, that's either a relationship that he himself has decided to sever, or else god wants to have nothing more to do with him.
There's not many things that will cause god to renounce us. We're human, so we err all the time. God's certainly gotten used to that by this point. Sadly, from your description, it sounds like the most likely cause would be that the poor man finally succumbed and invited in a fast-talking, miracle-promising demon. In that situation, I would be desperately trying to cough up something I shouldn't have swallowed, too!
Leading people into such hopeless despair that they'll let themselves become demon infested is the over-arching demonic goal behind all of the fear, isolation, and self-poisoning that we've been so methodically subjected to. A lot of people are definitely going to cave and give themselves over to the demonic — that's already baked in the cake at this point. Since you gotta break a few eggs to make one anyway, you might as well put this unfortunate experience to good use and learn what the warning signs are. Whatever you do, don't try to rescue someone who does not want to be rescued from the hell they've created. Depending how powerful the demon is, it might even be able to drag you down with it.
Pour your energy, love, and hope into people who haven't given up by placing their bets on the demonic side. There are countless millions out there who have been expertly groomed by demons over the past few years to stupidly cross over. Sometimes all it takes is one kind word, one blessing, to fortify their resolve and keep them from making the mistake of a lifetime.
