Actually, it's something I do care to understand. I want to know why people flock to religion. Why? Because I, myself, don't buy into it and wonder why others do. To me organized religion poses no other purpose than to eliminate personal responsibility. If you can pawn off all of your wrong doings onto an intangiable figure, then how can you go wrong?

Say what you want, speaking in tongues is not even remotely normal behavior. It is a mental illness. Being "overcome by the spirit of god" (which is, in it's essence, logically fallible) is basically possession and a direct afront to your lord. God does not have a spirit. He sent his son down here to die for us (apparently). Then again, his son was also god (somehow). It's like a big West Virginia homecoming where there's a brother, sister, aunt, uncle, and father in the same room...but there's only 2 people there.

And honestly I think that after seeing this I have every right to judge. For fuck's sake, the woman that runs the place actually prays over her powerpoint presentations. Does god really care that your version of windows doesn't fuck up your powerpoint shit? If he does, he's spending too much time watching the faithful and not enough time watching sinners like me. I'm not saying it's not ok to discuss your beliefs. I'm saying that it's wrong to force them onto children. It's wrong to feed children opinions they couldn't possibly have on their own. It's wrong to use the name of god to endorse your own petty prejudices and bigotries. And it's also wrong to sit in judgement of someone and tell them not judge something themselves.
