Can your father and his friends conduct a conversation with each other while speaking in tongues? Can they tell you what they were saying to each other? If not, i'll have to conclude that they are literally speaking gibberish. And in fact it has been proved. Some study somewhere (look it up, I can't be bothered to) showed that people speaking in tongues use the same noises for completely different meanings.

Hysteria.

It's the same as the fans of famous bands and singers becoming hysterical at the mere sight of their heroes.

That was easy.

They aren't crazy, just mistaken

How can they just mistakenly start talking in another language?

Now go back and read my response properly.

Hysteria does not equate to mental illness.

Why do atheists not rely on what people say? Why should I believe what anyone says then?

Why should I believe personal testimonies of people whose declared goal is to convert me to their beliefs?

Provide concrete, testable evidence and I'll start possibly taking you seriously.

Could be.

Now provide the evidence so I'll believe you.

See the difference?
