On a 2001 trip to the cathedrals of Europe, anthropologist John Rush and his wife entered St. Marks Basilica in Venice and encountered a mosaic depicting Jesus surrounded by mushrooms with an Amanita muscaria cap in his hand. Examining the space with new eyes, they discovered images of mushrooms and mindaltering plants all over the Basilica. Intrigued, Dr. Rush spent seven years researching and reflecting on the profound effects hallucinogens had on the founding of all three major Western religions. He concluded that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are political constructions evolving out of the use of not only Amanita muscaria, but a plethora of mindaltering substances.Failed God: Fractured Myth in a Fragile World reexamines the scriptural stories of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as told in the Bible and Quran and reveals them as concocted mythical charters stemming from druginduced romps with the supernatural. Rush shows how mindaltering substances played an instrumental role in the birth and development of Western religions and explains how they contributed to reports of prophetic experiences, including angry and disturbing messages from the divine. With chapters on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Rush fully addresses the effects of mindaltering substances on each tradition, convincingly discrediting the idea that they stem from actual human interaction with the divine. He also shows how an intoxicated and overzealous Apostle Paul corrupted Jesuss simple message of human decency, forming an oppressive religious system based on fear. In a thoughtprovoking conclusion, Rush asks how we can continue to attribute authority to traditions that were so clearly irrationally founded and incompatible with todays world.
