He won’t be able to easily since sorcery, pharmakia, drunkenness, etc. was prohibited. Heck you could say all the Jews suffered from bipolar, mass hypnosis, were all liars, or anything you wanted to try to explain it, pick one.

Dumb question. If he was stoned, why are the commandments so coherant? Why do they make sense? I mean come on. I’ve seen stoner’s think that Pee Wee’s playhouse is more profound than Shakespear or Dumb and Dumber a better movie than Shawshank Redemption, but I have never seen them end up with something this logical WHILE stoned.
Nope. Don;t think so.

what were the quail smoking that made them drop out of the air so conveniently?
and the rock really did not give forth water, it was a mass hallucination
that must be why they hung out in the desert for 40 years, too stoned to move
this proves only that you can’t sell books telling the boring truth, if you want to make it in publishing you have to be outrageously demented

Mohammad got away with it. So did Joseph Smith. And countless other cult leaders.IF Moses used drugs, and IF he made up his encounter with God, don’t ya kinda think that those who were with him would have found this out and killed Moses for this?

**The Moses Crisis **
Warning: There’s no real connection between this story and reality.
*An Israeli academic will be stripped of his credentials, the Israeli education ministry decided today. The move followed several days of riots across the Jewish country with thousands coming out into the streets to demand the academic apologize for saying our Rabbi Moses and the Children of Israel were stoned when receiving the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. (see here)
“As the Middle East’s only democratic state, we understand the necessity of academic freedom,” said an Israeli education ministry spokesperson, “but even academics need to understand that there is a limit when insulting one’s basic religious values.” He added that Our Rabbi Moses was a revered figure in Jewish thought. ‘Rabbi’ is an ancient Hebrew word meaning ‘teacher’.
Benny Shanon had published the study in the philosophy journal Time and Mind, based on his own dubious experiences with taking drugs. 100 Israeli parliamentarians participated in a protest march yesterday, demanding Shanon be punished for insulting the Jewish people, Our Rabbi Moses, and for causing such disorder.
Shanon is currently under arrest.
The story was republished by newspapers across the world with such headlines as “Moses: Let my people get high?” and “No wonder they wandered 40 years in the desert”, setting off protests in various Jewish communities in the West as well. In Denmark moderate Jews marched through the streets of Copenhagen, demanding respect for their religious beliefs. “We’re all for freedom of the press, but there must be a point where decency triumphs.”
In France, local Jews converged around the Israeli embassy in a peaceful vigil. A local Jewish leader was quoted saying that in these tense times it is irresponsible for such studies to be published. “We’re a peaceful people and a peaceful religion, this is an antisemitic attack against us.”
Tensions increased in the Netherlands, where a Dutch politician planning to come out with a movie revealing ‘the truth’ about Our Rabbi Moses, was placed under house arrest by the authorities, for his protection. The movie soon to come out will reveal that Moses stuttered and was a wanted felon in the land of Egypt. In recent months the proposed movie had come under increasing attacks from both politicians and intellectuals, due to its (supposedly) highly volatile content.
Jews in the Netherlands had announced that they support freedom of speech, but had hinted they might not be able to stop the community’s youth from displaying their anger, should the movie come out. Police were out in full force today to prevent any violence.
In Belgium the Jewish community was given unexpected support from a leading intellectual who said it was up to the Jewish community to pressure Israel to fall in line with the demands of the religious factions. “Such blatant disregard for academic freedom would of course be nonsensical in a Western modern country such as Belgium, but we expect Israel to uphold a higher standard. It’s completely understandable that Jews who had been insulted would riot in the streets, burn flags and demand justice. How can anybody say academic freedom is more important?”*

This new fiction about Moses is a product of the wild imagination of the high-on-drug researcher similar to the wild imagination portrayed in the Da Vinci Code. What is verifiable in laboratory is the fact that this researcher is the one who is a drug user.

Well they last few years there have been attack on Christian beliefs looks like this year it attack both Jewish and Christian beliefs. There is an old saying, “If you don’t stand for anything, you’ll fall for anything.” We need to realize that these kind of statements and studies are not going to stop. The secular world has to do everything it can to undermine the founding teachers and beliefs in order to make their standing in opposition to it appear correct. These statements about Moses are no different than when they attack Christ. Tear down the foundation and you can bring the house down. I would not read what this man rights about Moses or anyone else for that matter. I did not go see or read the De Vinci code nor any of these kind of writings or movies. Jew and Christian we have a responsibility to to denounce these works for the garbage they are.

About the only good thing I saw on this thread is a barfing icon. Otherwise it’s just more of the same old same old by the media and academia. Religion = Bad. No matter how many times I hear these stories it’s always the same formula.

My thoughts?
**Get a life, AGNOS - and a new hobby. **
Your baiting posts have become boring and about as annoying as something stuck to the bottom of my shoe.
**PS - God gave us salvation. **
Reason only belongs to those who accept this gift.

Isn’t it interesting that these type of attacks always seem to occur around Passover and Easter? Coincidence? I think not.
