Perfectly Understandable, Considering the Source

An Israeli researcher has declared that Moses was high when he thought he heard God issue the Ten Commandments.

Benny Shanon, a professor in Jerusalem, does not believe that great Biblical event actually happened. I think the explanation behind Professor Shanon's ridiculous proclamation lies in this sentence from an article about him and his beliefs:

Moses was probably also on drugs when he saw the "burning bush," suggested Shanon, who said he himself has dabbled with such substances.

Drug users....is there anything they don't know? (With apologies to Homer Simpson)
