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.

    I took Latin when I attended a Catholic high school for a bit and our teacher was a 70+ super-religious guy and if we ever felt like not learning Latin we'd ask him one of two things:

    • Did you hear what Bill O'Reilly said last night? Isn't he a real patriot?

    Or

    • Can you pray in tongues for us?

    And he'd be off. Usually took him most of the class period.

      I didn't think catholics even did the speaking in tongues thing

        Catholicism is the most syncretic religion on the planet man, there is no practise within Christianity not done by at least some Catholics.

        oh they fucking do. They call it the Charismatic tradition or some other shit.

        can report that it does not cure chronic childhood ailments and that a medical specialist is preferable.
