funny how man seems to try to put some 'natural' reasoning to a supernatural event. i wonder if this guy believes the whole nation of Israel was high 24/7. what about the cloud which covered Israel and the light which guided them - we all the jews stoned ? how does he explain that their shoes and clothes didn't wear out after their 40 year trek or the manna from heaven or the rock which gave water and numerous other events? seems his only explanation is that they were high all the time ?????
unbelievers spend an awful lot of time, energy and resources trying to disprove a God in which they don't believe, why is that ?

This has got to be one of the most whacked-out attempts at biblical exegesis I've even seen - along the lines of John Allegro's book "The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross." Those in rebellion against the Living God, who don't want to face their sin and shame, will do just about anything to discredit the Book that reveals the "Judge of all the earth."
The universality and sophistication of the Law, and its application in Hebrew history and society, is parsecs beyond the vain imaginings of some burnt-out Leary-ite professor who spent too many hours on desert LSD. The following Scripture from Romans 1 more than addresses the absurdity of his proposal:
"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools"
Indeed!
