Ergotamine poisoning is a hell of a drug.
I had never heard of ergotamine before today, and now I’ve seen it mentioned twice.
“Frequency illusion” or “Baader–Meinhof phenomenon,” which you’ll now see mentioned with more frequency.
It’s a rational explanation for a lot of the religious madness that happened in the past.
I didn’t know Jesus was so horny.
I want whatever the author of revelations had, but maybe half as much.
It was frankincense and closed windows. Maybe some of the incense had hallucinogenic mushrooms or fungi sprouted on it, who’s to say?
Magic mushrooms and scripture? Definitely not. ;)
Again with John Allegro? Haha.
This dude must have had the best shrooms ever. But it just goes to show that you should never overdo it.

John really was tripping balls on mushrooms when he wrote that book. Fun story. Highly recommend reading.
Communal worship can put people into suggestible states, for example. Throw in some attention whores with dubious affinity for truthfulness, and suddenly you get some pretty wild stories. Throw in some hottie swaying and going ‘ooooOOOooOoo, AahhaAAAAhhhh’ or whatever to whatever was their contemporary version of a hipster playing a musical instrument…
Alternatively, we’ve all seen the videos of experiments with conformity.
no need to blame psychedelics.
He quite literally wrote the book on the island of Patmos. A place famous for its magic mushrooms.
Assuming it was John of Patmos. The author only identified himself as “John”; but it was also super common to use pseudonyms as a way to get more authoritative.
The fact is we don’t really know for sure. The only evidence in the book itself is that that is where the revelation happened. One leading theory is that “John” was exiled there. For being Christian.
Keep in mind a lot of the rhetoric is a direct criticism of Domitian and Roman’s.
Maybe they did use psychedelics and maybe they didn’t. We don’t know.
RF (Religious Fiction, books that started a religion) is my favourite genre of literature. With notable writers like John, L Ron Hubbart and Lucinda Riley
Username checks out.
Or a really bad case of astigmatism.
this makes jesus 1000x cooler
Do the eyes and horns have to be symmetrical?

Furry Jesus
Some say Jesus is a lamb, I think Jesus is the GOAT
Biblically accurate Jesus
Not my most challenging wank.
I wonder if this vision was inspired by all of Paul’s ramblings about heavenly body vs earthly body.

I count only five horns

There’s two tiny ones directly in front of the big curly ones.
