Leave Some for Elijah


When I read in Daniel Radosh's Rapture Ready! about Bible theme park Holy Land Experience in Orlando and its Passion play that takes place every day at precisely 4:20, my ears and throat started to burn. No explanation of the time is offered but I immediately consulted Modern Man's Holy Research Tool, Google.

Phish.net (no credit to Lockhart Steele) has a "What's 4:20 say in the Bible?" page in their FAQ and while you might be tempted to siphon meaning from Deuteronomy's "But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace" or the ecumenically appreciated "Moses took the rod of God in his hand" in the Exodus passage, it's not hard to imagine all Scripture being composed with the aide of a Menorah bong. In fact, it was recently suggested that monotheism is at the mercy of a story concocted by Moses while tripping balls.

Apparently Jesus was a scroll-smoker and early advocate of medical marijuana too.
