5. That's what is referred to as the ego or persona,
so frightened and confused and alone that it gets swollen with a pseudo-spiritual inflammation. They are telling their god what to do and praying at their imagined "enemies" rather than for them.

From their perspective, it is to be understood that it is all the will of their god. So, one sees what is wrong with this picture.

Oh and unto them I say:

Posers! Playing politics, (and how much do you make?) and ...

Eena cheendo fenka locka wocka poontanga doyng ah hotcat sawallow!

6. Goes nuts? He's "speaking in tongues" which Pentacostals consider...
a good thing.

A lot of us don't buy it, even though it's mentioned in Acts and the Apostles seem to have done it, but at least have an elementary understanding of what you're ridiculing.

13. An "elementary understanding" of this poseur is that he is spewing pure, unadulterated bullshit.
You may allow it to hide behind the illusion called "religion", but don't expect the rest of us to respect your self-imposed limitations.

19. I don't expect you to do anything but continue to ridicule Christianity...
since that is what you do best.

But, my post was for the more educated who might not realize that this is an ancient religious tradition, and not a schizophrenic episode. It's common in many other faiths too, btw, and I'm curious if a native American shaman or religious Jew were to pray in such a way, as they are sometimes known to, would any of you jump on them as fast as on a fundie preacher?

Here's a few references, but they're not for you-- don't waste your sublimely reasonable brain on them. They're for someone who may want to understand a little more about the phenomenon, even if they don't buy it.

20. Don't presume to educate me. It is not a matter of knowledge or the lack of it.
It is a realization, born of personal experience, that dog and pony shows such as glossolalia are so easily faked and so frequently used to "prove" an individual's supposed link to a Supreme Being that they should ALWAYS be viewed with a very jaundiced eye.

I was ridiculing the bogus clown on the video, not Christianity.

You are free to practice speaking in tongues, snake handling and anointing with oil as a cancer cure. Just don't presume that others share your "beliefs" or insist that they not think them silly.

26. Religious Jews don't speak in tongues.
They speak in Hebrew, understandable to anyone else who can speak the language. Shamans also speak in recognizable language and some meditative sounds. Neither group does random gobbledygook.

Edited on Sun Jul-25-10 05:52 PM by BakedAtAMileHigh
By all means, continue to defend ignorance and hatred. Did you even bother to see WHY this clown is spewing his gobbledygook?

And yeah, it's stupid no matter who does it.

38. Sure, when schizophrenics do it, it is considered gibberish, but when religious people do it
it is considered being awash in the religious spirit? Give me a fucking break.

Can you contact me personally, off of this forum? I have a bridge to sell you.

21. The technical term for it is glossolalia.
I DO know quite a bit about it and I still think it is bullshit and very worthy of ridicule. This guy may believe that what he is doing is a result of being touched by the Holy Spirit and if that is the case he is delusional. So "going nuts" is an accurate description.

35. Yes, Pentecostals consider speaking in tongues to be a good thing. Some other things...
Edited on Mon Jul-26-10 09:18 AM by The Night Owl
...Pentecostals consider to be a good thing...

- Worshipping an infant drowning deity who casts souls into Hell for eternity.
- Believing that humans are born wicked.
- Accusing women and children of being witches.
- Deliverance ceremonies.
- Creationism and the effort to force it into the science classroom.
- Sarah Palin

By the way, you should at least learn how to spell Pentecostal before accusing others of lacking an elementary understanding of it.

37. Nicely done
Yeah, it is really a load of bullshit. It is hard to believe that people buy into it. I also think that it is odd that it is referred to as a tradition. A tradition? Sure, a tradition of people speaking jibberish and pretending that a spirit is talking through them. Well, what do you think that the average timespan is from somebody like this teahadist preacher speaking in tongues and the same person being caught having sex with a male child or male prostitute.

39. If I can point out a few things......
First, preachers like this get their message out because of people as stupid as you buying into it. Second, did you notice how quickly that guy went from speaking in tongues to english? It is clearly a fabricated language. Third, did you notice that the other guy started speaking in tounges when he was next to the preacher. How convenient that was. Lastly, if this guy is a preacher, why does he go in and out of this speaking in tongues routine? He must be awashed in the spirit only for a few minutes out of the day, right? Why not for the whole day? Why not for the rest of his life?

7. Do you think he'd get all that fired up about all of the INNOCENT people we have killed in Iraq &
Afghanistan?

Somehow, I bet "the Spirit" just doesn't come on him for that sort of thing.

11. Oh!! I so wish I was there! I know exactly how to mock this lying jerk.
Jibberish is easy but doing it in a convincing manner takes good acting. I would do it in a minute.

Here is what I would shout, "Hawah dagola gadd mwahaddi wah! Oh Lord please let this charlatan pretending to speak in unknown tongues see that he is doing the Devils work! Hinga loopa doopa dinga batta wompas catadongle! You said many will come in my name and many will be deceived! You are right lord! This man is one of the many that are deceived along with the rest of the deceived that surround him.
Shima laka laka laka. Shimlaka lak.

Uh oh. I'm letting my upbringing show. I can do a really good evangelist if there are any movie producers out there.

16. Linguistic studies have shown that "speaking in tongues"
produces no distinguishable grammar and contains only phonemes and morphemes from the "speaker's" first language. In other words, they make it up.

I think when people act like that it makes them more certifiable.

31. "Stop the agenda of the darkness?" He was making more sense . . .
When he was going all glossolalic.

There's very little that reveals these religious twits to be pure-D morans than "speaking in tongues." Anyone can do it, no holy spirit required.

33. Actually this guy may be our best ally in convincing people that
opponents of gay marriage are really kind of nuts and have nothing intelligible to say.

Not that I want to bother to listen to the whole video...

Who is this guy, and does he live in Rhode Island where this happened?
Worse, does he actually have a church?
