He’s lucky Pharaoh’s SWAT team didn’t break into his tent and shoot his dog.

“Carved in stone? That is a fairy tale. Maybe later, but not at the time they were declared.”
Why is it a fairy tale? Obviously you do not beleive that God gave them to Moses. Carving in a stone would not be too hard for God.

And the people did partake of the forbidden toadstools, which caused them to turn on one another and see visions of sight and sound that resonated within their innermost being, calling out to them in unison - VOTE FOR OBAMA!!"

What makes you say that? You must know something the rest of us don’t know.

Just because the guy is new and he posts something about moonbats, doesn’t mean it’s some insidious, nefarious liberal posting.

This is great! I just read that the Last Supper included amanita muscaria mushrooms, now this!
There is no evidence that acacia was used as a drug anywhere around the Mediterranean Sea. Some acacias contain dimethyltriptamine, but merely drinking a concoction of DMT is not psychoactive, they’d need to add in an MAOI like syrian rue.
There were psychoactives in use then, and they show up in literature and records, but to assume that Moses was high on an ayahuasca analog when he recieved the commandments is pretty outside.

Now I’m not saying I believe what this guy is saying, but in direct response to your question, wheat, the primary source of nutrition for all of the Middle East at that time is susceptible to a fungus called ergot which produces and alkaloid very closely related to lysergic acid. So if this was occurring, then mass hallucination is not beyond the realm of possibility.

"...suggested Shanon, who said he himself has dabbled with such substances."
Well, d'oh, that explains this bogus viewpoint!! Want some Scooby snacks with those 'substances', Shanon? ;-)

"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. Well, looks like Shanon has it all figured out...except the part about how the "narcotics" caused the commandments of God to be written on the stone tablets.
