There’s more to it, your highness!
From Tim’s entry on songs of praise:
The stories of the Bible, near as I can tell, are just about jam-packed with stories of wanderers and weirdos who struck out on their own according to some call from God, or simply The Open Road. Whether they were high or nuts is irrelevant: no group, individual, worldview or neurotype has ownership over what the authentic human experience is all about. The people who know are the people who are feelin’ it. You know them when you meet them on the road, when you hear them speak, when you hear them sing.
That sums up my feelings on the recent Mt. Sinai / Moses-on-drugs story perfectly. That article’s undercurrent pretends as though some “explanation” somehow nullfies the experience of Moses, the importance of that story/event, etc. I couldn’t say it so good, so I wrote this song instead.
