    I went to a Pentacostal church many years ago and one time they had a group session to practice speaking in tongues. It’s absolute horseshit.

        And the rest of us laugh at you guys who think a progressive church is any less batshit crazy than speaking in tongues.

      You can tell it’s horseshit because if they were actually performing the miracle of Speaking in Tongues that they claim to be you would be able to understand whatever they’re babbling about regardless of what language you speak. If they were genuinely doing it you probably shouldn’t even be able to tell unless someone who speaks a completely different language comes along and says something like, “Wow, it’s crazy that this congregation prays in Swahili,” or whatever.

      I grew up with two parents who are always engaging in glossolalia. They’ll swear black and blue it’s a language that connects them with god. To them it’s not complete horseshit. But it is.
