I'm usually a little weary of someone's character if I know they are religious, but if I ever met someone who claims to have spoken in tongues, I'm not even sure what I would do. Definitely not associate with them.Not sure what to do? Simply tell them they're talking bollocks!
Creepy stuff.
For reading in tongues try checking out " Metropole" by Ferenc Karinthy.
I did and hated every page. It's the most claustrophobic read ever, yet some critics hail it as a " central european classic" or " a stunning novel, nightmarish and jubilant ". Why mention it here you may be thinking? Well it's a vision of hell where a man finds himself in a place where the language makes no sense.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
