"As for the voice of God, Hebrew University psychology professor Benny Shanon proposes that Moses was tripping at the time on a hallucinogenic substance similar to ayahuasca. Shanon argues further that the presentation of the Ten Commandments might have been a mass hallucination. "The thunder, lightning and blaring of a trumpet which the Book of Exodus says emanated from Mount Sinai could just have been the imaginings of a people in an altered state of awareness."

As in the rest of the essay, much conjecture. In any event, not what the bible claims. The bible claims are very clear and they are also very clearly false! There were no Egyptian magicians who knew how to create life and none who could turn a river into blood!
