Typical Guntown religion



This isn't even unusual. This is how I grew up. I was the one hiding behind the bench, eyes closed and covering my ears. And NOT speaking in tongues. After church, we'd go home, everyone would fight, drink and get beat with a belt. Ahhhh, Sundays.

What are they doing??

They look seriously depressed. What's supposed to be the purpose of acting like this in church? Is it letting Satan out of you or communicating with Jesus? I've never seen this before

I couldn't speak in tongues. I had the debil in me. You have to beat it out.

Yeah that looks like something to look forward to every Sunday. Ridiculous. I have some family like this too. Don't really hang with them much. I'm not cool.

This is hi-LAR-ious. Makes me want to play the song, "Christianity Is Stupid," by Negativeland.

It looks like a form of mass hysteria.

It totally is a form of mass hysteria. My grandfather was a minister with Assemblies of God for 40 years or better and there was always some woman speaking in tongues. It's considered to be the Holy Ghost speaking through you and is supposed to be a very positive thing. It always just embarrassed me and I used to get really ashamed if I talked one of my friends into going to church with me. They would always just STARE at these people all wide-eyed and freaked out. It's funny because that shit's so normal to me. Ho-hum, someone's talking in tongues again. I remember the altar calls when I was little and the women would FLING themselves backward and the menfolk would have to catch them. They were so full of the holy spirit that they couldn't stand upright. I always felt vaguely embarrassed to be a part of that nonsense. I was born to be an atheist. I used to pray to be filled with the holy ghost but it never happened. I suspect that was because I was getting laid on a regular basis and wasn't prone to bouts of hysteria.

That is TOTALLY mass hysteria. I witnessed that mass crying one time and I wanted to run away as far as possible...I went to my ex's church with him for a soul-saving meeting and there that happened....I was fucking creeped out. Not long after that he didn't want to have any of this booty because suddenly he was born again, and I was having none of it. We lasted a couple of months after that and I dumped him.

YOW!!! But I have one question, who is Renee?

I dunno. Churches like that are filled with the biggest perverts though. If you're a pervert join the assembly and say hally loo ya!
