couple stories today regarding religion: one interesting and the other requiring a lot of faith to believe.

The first story about Iraqi young people's seemingly growing disenchantment with their harsh, oppressive, and culturally heavy-handed religion makes me wonder if this could be the means the Lord uses to once again bewilder those who oppose him. I can see him laughing the whole while, but we still need shepherds for the sheep over there.

The next story theorizes that Moses and the Israelites were under the influence of a hallucinogenic drug sourced from acacia trees. This is why Moses ascended into the mountain, spoke to God, saw a great light, had glowing skin, and so forth.
