High on Mount Sinai, Moses was on psychedelic drugs when he heard God deliver the Ten Commandments, an Israeli researcher claimed in a study published this week.
A Pillar of Fire was one of the manifestations of the presence of the God of Israel in the Torah. According to Exodus, the pillar of fire provided light so that Jews could travel by night during the Exodus from Egypt
According to the Biblical account of the law-giving, Sinai was enveloped in a cloud, it quaked and was filled with smoke, while lightning-flashes shot forth, and the roar of thunder mingled with the blasts of a trumpet;the account later adds that fire was seen burning at the summit of the mountain. Several scholars have indicated that it seems to suggest that Sinai was a volcano, although there is no mention of ash; other scholars have suggested that the description fits a storm, especially as the Song of Deborah seems to allude to rain having occurred at the time.
The Bible does not say the Israelites crossed the Red Sea or the Sea of Reeds — there was never a body of water known as Reed Sea or Sea of Reeds. The crossing is said to occur “by the sea by Pihahiroth” (14:9); that would define the Mediterranean Sea.

Well what God and what lord are you referring to?
There are countless of other Gods and Goddess out there.
Many are copies of one another.
Jesus is very similar to other God heads.
How can I hate something I don't believe is real?
That's like me hating a video game character for no reason.
And if Jesus was real. Why worship him?
Because his sacrifice was to was away sin? Come on now.
See this verse here proves that before Jesus. God forgave sin.
So then why does Jesus play such an important role? What is he, what did he do?
