I heard there are problems with psychiatric help in USA, but I wasn't aware it was this bad.
Oh, man, you have no idea.
Look up the Pentecostals for a good time, and then keep in mind they're considered mainstream.

Not for nothing, but speaking in tongues is demonstrably bullshit. It's been studied linguistically and neurologically, and been found to be wholly non-miraculous.
Has anything been found to be miraculous?
Sadly, only Miracle Whip has passed the scientific tests to legally be called miraculous.
Miracle Max was also pretty miraculous
Just don't rush him, you don't want rotten miracles.
Its got the creamy/tangy in spades
One man's miracle is another's abomination, as they say.
Octopi. Miraculous little creatures
Well, no. Plenty of things have been, and still are, unexplained, but that doesn't mean they violate the laws of nature. It just means our understanding of those laws is incomplete.
Like 3,000 years ago, a total eclipse would have seemed miraculous, but people of the time just had not yet mapped orbits and the planets.
In this case, glossolalia is a phenomenon that has been well-studied and found to be entirely mundane. They are not speaking foreign languages they had never heard before, they are not speaking new languages, they are not making phonemes that they have not heard before. Anyone can learn to speak in tongues, even if they do not believe in the spirituality of it. Neurologically, someone speaking in tongues is fully conscious and totally in control.
There are no cases of spontaneous glossolalia in groups that are not familiar with the experience.
It's weird, for sure. The people doing it seem to sincerely believe they are doing something. And there's no correlation to neurological conditions or mental illness. Functional MRI exams show that it isn't always controlled by the same part of the brain responsible for speech.
It just seems like people can learn to convince themselves that they have the magic power to talk weird and believe that they are channeling some supernatural power. They are not channeling any supernatural power, they are just making weird noises.
Wonder Bread was in the running, back in the 60s.
My friend's dad would make us sandwiches when we would come inside for a break. Wonder bread, with Miracle Whip and a slice of American cheese. Sometimes baloney, but it had to be fried.
Classic Americana kid food. I loved it then, but am now horrified that I actually liked it.
Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Quite a lot actually, through rigorous examination by the Catholic church.

Matt 6:5-8 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
It sure seems like an attention seeking parade.
It'd be nice if they would read their own text and get back in the closet. I agree with the poster up there - if it's truly a sacred thing, this sickening display would absolutely sully the whole thing.
I think that preacher screaming about gays and liberals did a lot of damage way back when (used in the trailer for The God Who Wasn't There). Pretty sure that was around the time the xtianists made a conscious movement to ally themselves with politics to forge a theocracy.

Do people not realize that "speaking in tongues" was just 1611 language's way of saying "they spoke in one language but everyone heard them in their own language"? It literally said that in the passage. Anyone who performs "speaking in tongues" in the "modern way" is lying to you about believing in their religion and about taking it seriously.

Honestly thats a semi believable part of the bible. Hear a language enough and ya kinda start to get ahold of it. Mind you it requires a base to work with, but given the whole Rome thing I suspect ya could pick up quite a bit at a market or port. Hell Ive experienced it myself, ive on multiple occasions have read Dutch or a Nordic language only to realize I dont know said language and promptly cant read it anymore.
I also watched a Dutch candle making video, that was a weird day overall though.

Now that's the face of Women's Health.
As usual.
Holy shit. It 100% looks like a satanic summoming is taking place based on the video.
What is wrong with these people? Get help!
As someone mentioned two weeks ago, we don't have an official language. They should actually set their rules in Santanic gibberish since they'll mean squat in the end when people finally get the courage to ignore them.
Something something separation of church and state
Well said.
He should be removed from office. He is not well.
Your elected officials. They should be hauled off in straight jackets.
These idiots are fucked in the head.
That video. Wow.
Reminds me of the chants in the game Control https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOI-uY7m-Og

For the xtian taliban to get a better idea of how normal America views snake-handling bullshit like this, they should imagine if this were a bunch of Muslims with their rugs out and praying in the same spot.
This timeline is getting to be absolutely ridiculous.
What happened to the separation of church and state?
He is also known for sponsoring a Senate bill, which recently passed, that would permit the Ten Commandments to be recited aloud in public schools.
Is this that indoctrination Republicans have been screaming about not wanting in schools? I guess it’s OK if it’s their particular brand of indoctrination.
May the Lord open
Under his eye.
Blessed be the fruit
Remember when the right spent so much time, even all the way into 2022, gaslighting that people are being hysterical and over the top to talk about Gilead states?
Of course they were dirty liars.
So I guess it's now ok for groups of Muslims to pray together to the east on the Senate floor, satanic temple would line up behind them, oh and don't forget about sacrificing of goats to Thor and Odin while we're at it. I guess all that is ok now ...right Arizona? Right?
