I read the other day that there's a theory Jesus was passing out shrooms during the last supper.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (Wireless Flash) -- Chew on this: An ethnobotanist in Santa Cruz, California, thinks Jesus was munching magic mushrooms at the Last Supper. Clark Heinrich says man has enjoyed the psychedelic effects of mushrooms since thousands of years before Christ -- and figured the King of Kings probably turned on as well.
In fact, he thinks Jesus was high on a psychedelic 'shroom known as "fly agaric" which was hailed for its taste as well as its trips.
Heinrich says the mushroom resembles pita bread and when soaked with water it feels exactly like human skin. He figures that's the bread that Jesus was referring to at the last supper when he said "eat this bread, this is my body."
But that's not the only way Jesus might have doled out psychedelics. Heinrich says people who eat lots of shrooms have a reddish-orange urine that's even more hallucinogenic -- and figures the almighty turned water into wine by whizzing into a five-gallon jug of H20.

I dont know why, but I'd like to see what R&P thinks about this theory.

That's about the damnedest thing I've ever heard.

I thought the thread title was an explanation for your username.

The turning water into wine by pissing into it... That takes the cake

Sounds like he came up with an outrageous idea to get a few clicks.

The story surrounding Jesus is a legend that has grown for over 2,000 years. It doesn't take being impaired to create that.

However, It might take being impaired to create this story.

Not sure I buy the piss part, but I'm not opposed to the idea that Jesus was taking psychedelic mushrooms. Probably anyone that has experienced taking them wouldn't be too surprised. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_Chapel_Experiment#Experiment

Almost all participants that took mushrooms had a profound spiritual/religious experience.
