Fuck’s sake.

    Man, all this speaking in tongues talk lately is giving me PTSD. Next they’ll be getting “drunk in the holy spirit”. Every time they pulled this shit at church, I wished my mom would have chosen abortion instead

      Sounds more entertaining than growing up Mormon, every week it’s the same wonderbread suburbanites talking about the small quiet warm feeling the Holy Spirit brings. At least the southern baptists know how to get everyone on their feet and dancing around.

        Wasn’t fun loving, southern Baptist. It was crazy ass non denominational, fire and brimstone, revolations, scaring kids about hell. Kenneth Copeland visits, and the like always went this route. Nothing entertaining about it. It was scary as fuck! And if I didn’t act right, it was paddle board time when we got home

          Damn, sorry you had to go through that. Each flavor of religion harms people in different ways, the Mormons are more about socially ostracizing non members and grooming children into the cult to keep the business growing. They’re also just as bad in effect if not scale as the Catholics for abusing kids, they just make the one on one time with the local bishop/used car dealer a normal thing so it seems ok.

          I cannot for the life of me understand the appeal of Copeland. The guy looks like a mix of a real life serial killer and “demon in human form” from movies, yet people still donate their whole paycheck to him so that he can buy private jets.
