Arizona State Senator Leads Prayer In Tongues On Floor Before Abortion Ruling
Arizona State Senator Leads Prayer In Tongues On Floor Before Abortion Ruling
“Looks like our prayer team stirred up some god-haters," Anthony Kern said.
I heard there are problems with psychiatric help in USA, but I wasn't aware it was this bad.
Oh, man, you have no idea.
Look up the Pentecostals for a good time, and then keep in mind they're considered mainstream.

Not for nothing, but speaking in tongues is demonstrably bullshit. It's been studied linguistically and neurologically, and been found to be wholly non-miraculous.
Has anything been found to be miraculous?
Octopi. Miraculous little creatures
Well, no. Plenty of things have been, and still are, unexplained, but that doesn't mean they violate the laws of nature. It just means our understanding of those laws is incomplete.
Like 3,000 years ago, a total eclipse would have seemed miraculous, but people of the time just had not yet mapped orbits and the planets.
In this case, glossolalia is a phenomenon that has been well-studied and found to be entirely mundane. They are not speaking foreign languages they had never heard before, they are not speaking new languages, they are not making phonemes that they have not heard before. Anyone can learn to speak in tongues, even if they do not believe in the spirituality of it. Neurologically, someone speaking in tongues is fully conscious and totally in control.
There are no cases of spontaneous glossolalia in groups that are not familiar with the experience.
It's weird, for sure. The people doing it seem to sincerely believe they are doing something. And there's no correlation to neurological conditions or mental illness. Functional MRI exams show that it isn't always controlled by the same part of the brain responsible for speech.
It just seems like people can learn to convince themselves that they have the magic power to talk weird and believe that they are channeling some supernatural power. They are not channeling any supernatural power, they are just making weird noises.

Depends on who you ask. The Catholic Church will claim rigorous evidence of it's miracles, especially the ones that lead to sainthood.
Of course, they don't respect the scientific method, so what's the point of trying to have a serious investigation if the methodology is going to be biased and flawed?
There are a lot of aspects of the world that are wonderful, can't yet be explained, and maybe don't even need explanation to be worshiped and enjoyed. Religion is just a means to make sense of these parts of our cosmos (I myself am a complete atheist, but have friends whose lives have been definitely enriched by finding religion). The problems arise when manipulative people codify these beliefs into regimented systems of control. That creates an incentive to coerce others to follow the same beliefs. That in turn leads to religions beginning to be shaped by a kind of memetic survival of the fittest. Some religions try to short-cut the hard work of having actually good ideas that improve people's lives, by instead coercing people into beliefs that maximize birth rate and reduce individual thought.
Well, there's a jellyfish capable of immortality. It's as close as anyone is likely to get to a miracle in the real world.

Yes they have misinterpreted the Bible, but also they don't seem to be liars. Their faith appears to be entirely sincere, and there's no evidence they are lying. From the outside, they look as serious as every other Christian, which is to say it's all ridiculous.
I don't want to make assumptions about you, but your point is the sort of "no true Scotsman" argument Christians like to make about the "other" Christians they don't agree with. Believers can see and point out the flaws in the beliefs of others, but all religions are down in the same irrational hole.
Nothing is miraculous. Nothing exists outside of nature. Only dimwits believe in that shit.
It seems like a delusion of grandeur. A mental illness.
Isn't that most religions? You have the sacred knowledge of the divine will of the creator and ultimate judge of the Universe, who is also your close personal friend. You telepathically communicate, and He tells you that everything you already think is correct. Whatever happens in your lifetime, you're going to hang out with Him behind the velvet rope in the afterlife while all of your enemies are tortured for eternity.

Matt 6:5-8 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
It sure seems like an attention seeking parade.
It'd be nice if they would read their own text and get back in the closet. I agree with the poster up there - if it's truly a sacred thing, this sickening display would absolutely sully the whole thing.
I think that preacher screaming about gays and liberals did a lot of damage way back when (used in the trailer for The God Who Wasn't There). Pretty sure that was around the time the xtianists made a conscious movement to ally themselves with politics to forge a theocracy.

Do people not realize that "speaking in tongues" was just 1611 language's way of saying "they spoke in one language but everyone heard them in their own language"? It literally said that in the passage. Anyone who performs "speaking in tongues" in the "modern way" is lying to you about believing in their religion and about taking it seriously.
But every single time I have ever seen it done publicly, like this (and even in some churches) it has been a circus sideshow and a mess
Hey! As a circus sideshow performer, I'd like you to know most of us are professional about what we do and running a show requires a shit ton of coordination

Now that's the face of Women's Health.
As usual.
Holy shit. It 100% looks like a satanic summoming is taking place based on the video.
What is wrong with these people? Get help!
As someone mentioned two weeks ago, we don't have an official language. They should actually set their rules in Santanic gibberish since they'll mean squat in the end when people finally get the courage to ignore them.
Something something separation of church and state
Well said.
He should be removed from office. He is not well.
Your elected officials. They should be hauled off in straight jackets.
These idiots are fucked in the head.
That video. Wow.
Reminds me of the chants in the game Control https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOI-uY7m-Og
Such a good game!
For the xtian taliban to get a better idea of how normal America views snake-handling bullshit like this, they should imagine if this were a bunch of Muslims with their rugs out and praying in the same spot.
This timeline is getting to be absolutely ridiculous.
What happened to the separation of church and state?
He is also known for sponsoring a Senate bill, which recently passed, that would permit the Ten Commandments to be recited aloud in public schools.
Is this that indoctrination Republicans have been screaming about not wanting in schools? I guess it’s OK if it’s their particular brand of indoctrination.
May the Lord open
Under his eye.
Blessed be the fruit
Remember when the right spent so much time, even all the way into 2022, gaslighting that people are being hysterical and over the top to talk about Gilead states?
Of course they were dirty liars.
So I guess it's now ok for groups of Muslims to pray together to the east on the Senate floor, satanic temple would line up behind them, oh and don't forget about sacrificing of goats to Thor and Odin while we're at it. I guess all that is ok now ...right Arizona? Right?
Sounds like an epic party
Sounds like a Supernatural episode waiting to happen
Why is it always republicans.
