Do you have the "holy ghost" or "speak in tongues"?

[Chris.B]

all that shyt they do in church is just mass delusion and people trying to fit in with whats expected

why are you trying to discern spiritual languages you do not adhere to?

It's like me trying to understand complicated scientific formulas....if you are not part of the team, it's meaningless for you to try to understand.
Become a christian first then you can understand.

It doesn't make sense to send a civilian to the battle field unless they become a well equipped soldier.

my uncle claimed he spoke in tongues before...

I remember being at a church camp, mind you i went to a Pentecostal system where people routinely caught the holy ghost. Anyways, every night we would have a service and they would call people to the altar and people would be catching the holy ghost left and right.

The whole time i'm hitting them with the

A group of adults descended upon me and began laying their hands on me. Some crying, some talking in tongues and one guy praying loudly for the hold ghost to enter me

Anyways the whole time I got the look and after 10 minutes of this ridiculous display, they move on to another victim.

I look back at experiences like this like this is when my seeds of doubt were being sown. Even then I realized the ridiculousness and theater of the whole thing.

I believe in this Holy Ghost and speaking in Tongues n all but some people be faking, when it's authentic you will feel the true presence of God, it's kind of scary actually, n it happens at randoms times at the right combination of circumstances, not when the drums are being played fast.......

this is exactly how I feel


the closest I've ever felt the holy ghost spirit is when a older woman displayed it next to me. I was just sitting down chillin, not really paying her any attention & all of a sudden I felt something around me as well. It did have me shook.

Speaking in tongues is a sign for the UNBELIEVERS. If you don't believe, it's for you to witness. Some of you hard headed niccas STILL don't believe.

which doesn't mean anything.

It does make sense.....

How do you expect to understand something you are not a part of?

It doesn't preclude you from explaining it.

Thats like saying I wouldn't understand it if you didn't explain it

but you're not explaining it.

Membership alone doesn't mean the argument makes any sense.

Also, studies about speaking in tongues have been largely negative.

Its sheer gibberish reinforced by social pressure to fit in.

stop making these stupid false equivalencies. It's like you trying to understand science PERIOD. they aren't spiritual languages, they're gibberish bullshyt.

question evolution and the big bang but believe in speaking in tongues just because it involves religion, brehs.

Yeah, who could guess that one persons reaction can influence your feelings/perceptions. Psych 201 b, but it's been established you dropped out in middle school when chemistry got too hard for you

I don't have the cognitive dissonance required to take solace in the existence of an imaginary being. Not to mention I'd rather God be helping starving children rather than my stresses.

You can't trust your subjective experiences. How about you look up information and scientific studies regarding speaking in tongues?

shyt is purely a social phenomenon. The fact that it isn't real shouldn't effect your belief in God at all, again, religion is the culprit here, not merely a belief in a higher being. Schizophrenics also sometimes speak in tongues. It wouldn't surprise me if Christianity was created by a schizophrenic who thought he was hearing the voice of God.
