*WHO’S* HIGH?
In this article an Israeli psychology professor argues that Moses must have been high on mind-altering drugs when he claimed to hear the voice of God and receive the ten commandments on Mt. Sinai. “As far Moses on Mount Sinai is concerned, it was either a supernatural cosmic event, which I don’t believe, or a legend, which I don’t believe either, or finally, and this is very probable, an event that joined Moses and the people of Israel under the effect of narcotics,” Shanon told Israeli public radio on Tuesday. So his proof that it was not a supernatural event is …. that he doesn’t believe it.
In the same article the professor admits to having some experience with ayahuasca, a South American psychotropic drug. So the article offers no evidence that Moses used drugs, but full admission that the professor used drugs. And the conclusion we draw is….?

I bet the upper room experience and 500 people seeing Jesus after he was raised were also mass-hallucinations, too.
Some people and their dogmatic beliefs!
