Writing in the British Journal Time and Mind, he claims Moses was probably on psychedelic drugs when he received the Ten Commandments from God.
"As far as 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 effects of narcotics," he told Israel Radio in an interview Tuesday.
As for the vision of the burning bush, well obviously that too was a drug-fueled hallucination, according to Shanon. "In advanced forms of ayahuasca inebriation," he wrote, "the seeing of light is accompanied by profound religious and spiritual feelings."
Shanon went on to say that the doctrines of Scientology aren't actually fact, that Jim Jones wasn't actually a prophet, and that Joseph Smith's 35 marriages to teenagers and married women were a sham concocted to get anal from someone other than his wife. Holy shit is that really possible?**Thanks to Lord John for the tip.
