Praying Constantly

On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled. – Exodus 19:16 (NIV)

In the news recently there was an article by a Jewish scholar who said that none of what happened to Moses on Mt. Sini was true.  That the use of hallucinogens was common practice in religious ceremonies at the time.  That it was not a burning bush but a flashback.  It sounds more like a description of Woodstock to me.  I wonder what he thought about Exodus 19:16?  Was it a mass hallucination?  A vast right-wing conspiracy?  Why is it so hard for some people to just give God his due?  I guess if they accept there is a God, then they must except they live in sin, and we wouldn’t want that.
