Researcher claims Moses was on drugs

What do people think??

So all this religion was just one big hoax?

Well I told a school inspector in my O level Scripture lesson that the book of Ezekiel must have been written by someone on drugs - lots of vivid images, colours, valley of the dry bones rising up etc...
It has to be said he blanched a bit (as did my Scripture teacher ) but I found (and still find) it a pretty reasonable explanation... But then I'm pretty rabidly agnostic, so will now retire to a quiet corner...

I think he had just been taking the Tablets.

It's been a long time since I've taken hallucinogenics, but I'm sure I never had a vision as boring as a list of 10 bad things that people shouldn't be allowed to do.

(I did once lose a number between 1 and 10 though.)

lol at Tablets! b-boom!

Anyone would think I started this thread just so I could make that joke.

You did, didn't you?

Maybe

Good one, UqD, I'll pass it as my own

I'm surprised you didn't say he was "stoned"

well if by 'opening the doors of perception' moses et al could gain religious experiences, i don't see it's a huge blow for the judeo-christian tradition. after all if you believe in god you believe he created everything. Including hallucinogens.
