When I stated "Babble", I was meaning literally what someone would call, "Speaking in tongues". It's just I had heard it more than once during the preacher praying to the congregation and of course without any type interpreter around when he would go off in left field with a, "Shabalacka tsusamtalckalf" etc. etc. etc. lol
You are correct, AOG is strict, but I would have to put the UPC/UPCI on the peddle stool for being the most extreme out of the two.

My parents believed in something, but both thought the religion thing was a bunch of bullshit. We didn't go to church, we didn't pray, we didn't say grace before a meal, except when we visited the super religious parts of our family. It was nice not having that god hang around our house. Both of my parents grew up in super religious homes. I guess they didn't want their children subjected to the hypocrisy of religion.
Binny, you were one of the lucky ones by far...I guess that's a major difference between someone raised in the South (U.S.) and the North. Bible Belt compared to a little more liberal conservative.
