Speaking in tongues?

[Shell B]

To be fair, I am an intolerant northerner. If you have any of the stereotypically south characteristics, I am nearly guaranteed to dislike you.

[Minimalist]

Oh, please. Do you need more proof that it is bullshit than the fact that it is nearly universally total gibberish spotted by hillbillies at whatever they call those holy rolling get togethers? I mean, if it were real, wouldn't it happen anywhere and to anybody, not just in the South in baptist churches?

Never been in a church where people were rolling around, and far as hillbillies go I'd take the worst one over a yankee any day.

Never figured you for anything more.

Same here. The problem I have is that requires I dislike my own relatives. Some of them are great, but some of them are typical, intolerant assholes.

Take thy beak from out my heart

[Shell B]

You don't have stereotypically south characteristics, dear. At least, not ones we think of as stereotypical.

[Godscreated]

So . . . you have never seen people speaking in tongues or you have never seen them do it in church? Because, really, I fail to see how your statement contradicts my assessment that the only people who speak in tongues are indoctrinated assholes in churches.

I'm sorry you feel that way about people with good schools and decent oral hygiene.

It's how Southerners treat each other from the heart that makes us different , but then I would expect a well schooled Yankee wouldn't understand this. As far as oral hygiene goes, if the trash that comes out of a yankee's mouth came out of a hillbillies mouth then we would need to brush more often too.

Of course he'd feel that way. People with decent education are probably completely a foreign concept to him, and how does that little nugget of human wisdom go? Fear of the unknown is natural?

That's not an answer to my question.

Spoken like a true, intolerant southerner. You sound just like my grandparents. They're assholes, too.

I see others here are glad you do not like your granparents, that's what I'm saying we love our families irregardless.

Oh no, Shell. That's just another example of southern superiority.

Whatever you do, don't mention the Civil War.

You need a little history lesson bubba, east Tennessee was supportive of the fight against slavery.

Whatever floats your boat.

Speaking in tongue is simple , I will use my knowledge in linguistic to explain why.
In this example we imagine that I'm a charlatan who will trapped some Christians.
I can say something like that : rolAbi panun qilem kRlt (pseudo-words) (micro-pause like a virgule) kOs zanum (pseudo-words) giyo (the word yogi reversed) qinamon (cinnamon in Hebrew who is mispronounced voluntary).

Now in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) :
ˈɹɔˌlaːbi ˌpaˈnun qiˈleːm krlt (micro-pause like a virgule) kos zɑˌnuːm ɡiˈjəʊ ˈqinamɔn.

Conclusion : You can mix real languages and modified them too you can create pseudo-words. Also you have another solution who is more simple , you can articulate all phonemes than you want.

I never said I don't love them. They're still assholes, though.

Pretty common where I come from, y'all are just visiting the wrong parts of the south.........even we don't go there...that place is a shithole...lol. We drive around it. You have the michigan militia....we have the kkk........very little difference between the two..know what I mean?

Whats a chocolate sprinkle called up in beantown again btw Shell?

Speaking candidly, so long as there aint any other southerners in earshot - it;s very dificult to discern a concrete difference between people in the north or south, seems like a manufactured divide. Things progress a little more slowly in the south (including thoughts) - but in the south's (and southerners) defense..it's hot as balls.

Isn't that true of all relatives, everywhere?
