Objectively, it makes the experience worthless, and certainly does  
nothing to back up the idea of an absolute god whose rules are  
universally applicable.

To claim on one hand that some kind of god exists who is objectively,  
personally present in every life -- while on the other hand asserting  
that hallucinogens influencing the minds of "prophets" are somehow  
irrelevant in reference to those assertions -- is to fall into the  
disingenuous offense that makes religion so damned unpalatable to  
rationalists.

To be fair, though, William: This researcher has absolutely no more  
evidence to back up his claims' factuality than Moses did. It's  
probably safest to concede that both Moses and Shanon are equally  
brimful of shit.
