My dad's running on the treadmill outside of my room right now and he's just yelling in tongues and it's annoying and creepy.

    Wasn't raised to do it because it felt weird to me. Not to mention i didn't like the preacher cause he would make a point to make a big deal about people (me) not sweating, dancing etc up and down the aisle. Its a small family church so its awkward as fuck. Also he was stealing funds from the church which so it made it seem like a show. I kinda believe the bible was talking about actual languages instead of heavenly ones so they could evangelize.

      Haha you probably know about being "slain in the spirit" then too. The last time I saw somebody being slain in the spirit, the pastor put his hand on someone's forehead, yelled for the Holy Spirit to enter their body, and the guy fell back and took out like 6 chairs and cut his elbow open.

        Fucking tent revivals are wild for that shit. Hot night, mosquitos everywhere a barely coherent sermon with hours of shouting and old ladies falling out on the floor and getting home at midnight. The only reason I even cared to go was the food my aunts made for everyone beforehand.
