Exactly.
A top academic says Moses was high on hallucinogenic drugs when he received the Ten Commandments from God.
Prof Benny Shannon believes Old Testament tales are records of visions brought on by plants similar to an acid trip, reports The Sun.
The psychology don at Jerusalem's Hebrew University says the Bible's stories suggest "ancient Israelites regarded psycho-active plants in high esteem".
Prof Shannon claims Moses got high on a drink called Ayahuasca, made out of potent plants that grow in southern Israel.
He said: "They cons ute the key ingredients of one of the most powerful psychedelic substances in existence."
The professor came up with his theory after trying the drink, still used in religious rituals by the Amazon people, and having similar visions.
He claims five events in Moses' life were inspired by the drug, including the Ten Commandments and the Burning Bush miracle.

Exactly.
Where can I find this plant? I've been thinking of starting my own religion and need a doctrine. Might as well do it old school.
I think I've posted on something like this a while ago...
Oracle at delphi was high on underground gases all the time.
Exactly.
my faith hath been restored
and jesus was a manic depressive...what else is new?
When I first saw the thread le I thought it said Mouse was on acid.
After actually reading, I have to admit this might make sense. The only guy I know who ever actually did acid (in addition to most anything else he could get his hands on) told me about taking a couple of hits at a party, wandering off, and waking up on his uncle's lawn some 7-8 miles away. Under those cir stances I can see how you end up in the desert for 40 years.
It's entirely plausible.
Bull ...everyone knows they had already had pharmacies back in 1000 BC. No way would have they have used plants for that kind of .
Whatever.
The Burning Bush,
The Rods turning into serpents,
The 10 plagues of Egypt
The Crossing of the 'Red Sea'
The Guiding Cloud by day
The Burning Pillar by night
The Ten Commandments
The Snake on a Rod that healed anyone who looked at it.
Water from the Rock
Mana from Heaven
If only 5 of the supernatural events above were 'acid' induced... What else will Prof Benny Shannon conjure up to explain the other events.
Yeah...
This Shannon guy (guy?) is an idiot
Im gonna go out on a limb and say he was fasting and hallucinated from fasting not from LCD.
Since i'm up here i just bumped into him and asked him and he said it was definitely from the fasting.

If acid makes you part a significant part of the ocean, I'm getting me some.
I wouldnt doubt this ....
The funny thing about religion is they keep claiming the resurection of their god is at hand but yet shun the guy on the corner claiming to be that resurrected god...
People are ing stupid. organized religion is even more ing stupid.
