Waggy Tongues

I'm a huge YouTube fan. I search for all sorts of stupid shit, whether it be music, cartoons, science, ghosts, what have you. Somehow, I came across people who spoke in tongues. Now, if your not familiar with this practice, it may sound pretty outlandish to you, but check this out: In the book of Acts (in the Bible) the Holy Spirit came down and zapped a bunch of dudes' mouths with magic lightning that caused them to be able to go out into the street and preach the awesome news of Christ's gift for humanity in any and all languages. The idea being put across, as I've come to understand in my studies, is that a diverse group of people from different languages all listened to the dudes speaking and each person heard them talk in their (the people listening) own native language. So A Chinese guy and a German guy hear dude say "Praise God" at the same time, Chinese guy hears it in Chinese, German guy in German, etc.
Today, some churches (mainly the Pentacostal and some Baptist as well as others I may not know about) practice this "gift" of speaking in tongues, except when they do it, it's just mumbo jumbo and it sounds quite silly. I've actually seen this first hand, the first time when I was about 19. I saw it in a Pentacostal church where everyone was running around aimlessly, people were on the floor stroking out, and some folks where screaming at the top of their lungs in crazy talk. I actually started to laugh and was given some dirty looks. I asked later what the fuck that was all about, and they sat down and explained to me the dilly-o. That's when I said, "Aw hell no" and looked it up myself. Since then, I've seen it one other place in Lakewood, WA at some "Christian Community" I stayed at for awhile, where the majority of the people were black and they LOVED speaking in tongues. I think they actually practiced behind closed doors to, I don't know, come up with funnier shit.
Here's my theory: the reason people do these things is to fulfill some kind of desire to be noticed but ignored. Like if a mentally ill person talks to himself incessantly on the bus, what do you do? You ignore him, cause he probably can't help it, and neither of you would get anything out of that conversation anyway. Besides, who knows what he's capable of being crazy and all, the last thing I need is some loony bum starting shit with me then I'd have to kick his ass. Then I'd be the asshole. Same with Christians who speak in tongues: If you do or say anything about it, then they will react in such a non chalant way, it's like they know you've called on their bullshit, but the show MUST go on, they can't just stop and say, "Alright, you got me, I'm a fucking moron." That and you would be an asshole for beating up a skinny dork who's just trying to save your soul.
I don't know, it just bothered me, so I started a whole new blog about it. Welcome, by the way to Inside Chris' Mind, where I can type whatever the fuck I want. Not only can I do it, but I totally plan on doing it. Like I just did. And am doing now. Hmm. Let's see. Blippity shtom pom smear. Cooky funky bananas march on the street singing fuckaroos. Ancient chinese secret, eh?
Oh yeah, I totally went there.
