And are you from a predominantly area? I say this as a sanctimonious cunt as I was brought up secularly, and am from one of the most secular countries in the world. So religion played no role in my past.
Raised Pentecostal. Spoke in tongues. Was a Royal Ranger because the Boy Scouts were too worldly.
What's it like speaking in tongues ? Can you describe it from the perspective of someone who is now a sceptic ? I find it a fascinating phenomenon. Can you practice it ? Are there some who are better at it than others i.e. more authentic sounding ? The only time I've spoken to a Xtian about it was some Jehovahs Witnesses who do not believe in that sort of thing, saying that people are just getting themselves worked up into a frenzy.
