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.
Yeah, I specifically avoided all that, seeing as how I now believe the entire religion is false.
But for anyone willing to hold their breath long enough to see these Christofascists stop making it up as they go along and actually give two shits about their own holy book, that’s definitely a point for consideration.
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.
It depends on the denomination and church you grew up in. Some of them— like the Baptists I grew up with— tend to know what the eff is happening when it’s in the Bible. No, their problem is they keep adding conservative bullshit into their religion and it’s a 50/50 on whether or not they say it’s in the Bible. As bad as Baptists are, I respect a denomination that says “gays are bad because [KJV translation imperfect]” and “guys can’t wear earrings” (even though they do in the Bible), more than one that rolls around on the floor spouting complete gibberish and saying that’s what Biblical speaking in tongues is (even though the passage was super clear about what it actually was). It’s a whole different level of stupid, is all I’m saying.
My favorite part is that I’ve been an atheist for 8 years and can still speak in tongues. If it were what they say it is, I’d have lost the ability to long ago.
