[i]Writing in the British philosophy journal Time and Mind, Benny Shanon of Jerusalem?s Hebrew University said two plants in the Sinai desert contain the same psychoactive molecules as those found in plants from which the powerful Amazonian hallucinogenic brew ayahuasca is prepared.

The thunder, lightning and blaring of a trumpet which the Book of Exodus says emanated from Mount Sinai could just have been the imaginings of a people in an ?altered state of awareness,? Shanon hypothesized.[/i]

Don’t get me wrong, I am a firm believer in god but I still think this is funny. So, now we know the holy rollers were all stoned?

roflmao, sorry… Just too easy.

Hey, how many religions incorporate drugs(hallucinogenic) for visions. Indians, mushrooms… Chuckle…. no comment…

Nothing like religious blasphemy(I’m kidding) for good reading.

Chuckle, I thought it was more fun reading then.
