I'm just curious ...


... what is the point of "speaking" in tongues if God is the only one who could understand it? Wouldn't thinking in tongues be sufficient?

You mean, like, an expression of belief that you CAN'T impress other people with?

What would be the point of THAT?

Good point! I'd actually never thought of that.

Resident Christian here. This speaking in tongues thing is, um... bullshit.

It's religious delusion (hush, you.) People get so wrapped up in their religious fervor that they sorta lose it. Either that or they're just plain faking.

Actually speaking in tongues is something I've never heard of anyone ever doing. That is, if one speaks in tongues, everyone should be able to understand it, regardless of their language.

FWIW, my minister agrees. I mentioned the tongues thing to her, and she just rolled her eyes and said much of what I said, but more politely. :)
