I wonder how many former Pentecostals have eventually found themselves to be atheists, after witnessing the blatantly deceitful practice of speaking in tongues?
This thread certainly takes me back.
Anecdotal, but I 'run' the Freethought Society of the Midlands (FSM) in SC, and I am struck by how many people in the group were raised in a fundamentalist religion, particularly Pentecostalism.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
