So, if someone experiences something you haven't, they must be on drugs, right?

Actually there is a bush common to the region where the branches emit small portions of oil and at certain times during the day the bush will basically ignite from the heat but the bush itself will not burn to the ground.

Possibly hallucinogenic mushrooms.
From wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manna )
It is the view of a minority that the biblical reference to manna refers to one of a number of entheogenic mushrooms. The use of entheogenic substances throughout history, from Native American Church Peyote, the Uniao de Vegital's ayahuasca, the Hindu and Sikh Soma and Amrita, and the Indo-Iranian Haoma seems to validate the biblical use of manna as a mystifying substance of transcendent experience. (Mushrooms and Mankind)
Exodus 16:4 and 16:14 both describe characteristics of manna which are similar to that of a number of mushrooms.[6] For example The Bible as quoted in Exodus 16:14 reads:
And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.

In all seriousness he probably WAS on some kind of hallucinogenic drug, whether intentionally or by accident. I'm no expert on drugs or Middle-Eastern bushes, but maybe the bush was itself psychoactive?

you, know, instead of trying to refute it, maybe it's right, smart one. You know people would believe a lot of things crazier than Moses talking to a burning bush because it didnt come from God.

I'm not sure, but anyone who believes the story of Moses to be anything but a Myth is certainly smoking something!

Maybe you should just ask what kind of bush it was.

Yeah, God forbid that something in the Bible actually went down the way it says it did.
