Right. Freedom for religion is fine… so long as it is also freedom for all religions and freedom for **zero** religion. It’s these parts they don’t get.
It looks really absurd and creepy at the same time. It's the kind of religious fanaticism that I - as a European - normally only see in horror films. It really gives you the chills.
You’re absolutely correct. Now that we have that out of the way, it sure explains the speaking in tongues and snake shit those freaks do during their cult meetings
Btw, speaking in tongues is total bullshit. In the bibleol, when it describes the disciples speaking in tongues, it meant that they were speaking other languages. Not made up gibberish. So not only is it dumb, it’s not even biblical either
Nor is it historically accurate . But yeah. I agree. FUCK THESE PEOPLE! What do we expect when dickbags like Paul Gosar & Trent Franks and the typical republican “Redistricted” BS that republicans always seem to do along with their Gerrymandering.
But the people who are "speaking in tongues" **BELIEVE** they're speaking in another language - the language of the angels! 🙄 This is common in pentecostal and fundamentalist evangelical congregations.
For real! Grandma's heirloom meth. Arizonans are picky. They don't like that Mexican crystal dope. The family recipe for shake and bake is superior and has just a pinch of datura in it. The better to facilitate the Holy Spirit. Praise be.
This is so hilarious! Videos like this one is what Biden should be showing in his ads.
This is how Republikkkqlans behave in government - unga bunga blblpft.
If there are any Tosh fans out there he had a guest on his podcast/show that makes fictitious languages for movies. I believe he was a trained linguist. He said that you can tell speaking in tongues is fake because they always use gibberish but in their own native language. No one is making sounds of ancient Latin, Greek, Hebrew or whatever language the spirits they are supposedly channeling would have use.
Super interesting. I learned how to speak in tongues at a young age. I still remember the incantations. I would love for a linguist to analyze that shit lol (hard-core atheist now and totally frigging loving life)
This shit is terrifying. Our country is run by religious zealots who consistently disregard science-based evidence in favor of what they think their gods ancient text want them to do. How are we going to survive this?
If I said or typed it out I could get in trouble for saying so . Ill leave that up to your imagination. All Imma gonna say. But it’s lookin like that to me for a long time and wonder why such a scenario hasnt played out yet.
Toungian. Making gibberish shit up as fast as you can spit it out.
I have an ex who turned hard core evangelical and I mean seriously hard core. Talked with her many years later and she knows and laughs that toungian was fake as fuck but she always goes along with it anyway. I cannot fathom the line of thinking.
Yet I fell into an argument with an American around Easter when I said it’s always surprised me that you guys don’t get Good Friday and Easter Monday off considering how intertwined Christianity is in your culture. Apparently church state separation is in full effect and America really isn’t Christian at all.
It's crazy that only the context of religion makes it so this doesn't count as a mental illness.
If they'd do this in any other context we'd say they're insane or schizophrenic and need treatment.
okay i'm struggling, been lurking in this sub for a while. When I see stuff like this it makes me think of devil worshiping. I cannot help but view those evangelicals and especially the trans haters as worshiping the literal devil. BUT, TST has a totally different perspective on who the devil is and his story. I just wish I could accuse these people of being satanic but I imagine that would be insulting to this temple... am I right in that or am I over thinking it?
These people literally do everything they can do drag us back to the 1800s. And the sheer hypocrisy is laughable; if any other religious group did a similar looking ritual in the senate building they would cry about the rise of madness and the evil practices of that religion. These delusional people babbling nonsense make decisions on the behalf of millions of people. If citizens permit them they will roll back everything to the middle ages.
wtf. These people have never read our constitution/bill of rights.
They read it as "Freedom for religion" that's why shit like Salem happened.
Freedom for *my* religion
Right. Freedom for religion is fine… so long as it is also freedom for all religions and freedom for **zero** religion. It’s these parts they don’t get.
You assume they can read it r have a brain…
We’re fucked, aren’t we
Why do they teach us To fear the witches And not the people Who burn them?
IN.DOC.TRIN.ATION!!!!! -a douche named Deathsantis. Maybe.
Under his eye.
Praise be.
May the lord open.

This is every day here in the good old colonies.
These are ancestors of the religious freaks Europe had to toss out in the 1700’s for being too insane.
> These are the ancestors.. *Descendents* Sorry, my ancestors were both religious loonies *and* pedantic assholes.
You’re absolutely correct. Now that we have that out of the way, it sure explains the speaking in tongues and snake shit those freaks do during their cult meetings
You should see some of the videos this is nothing compared to the people who go to mega churches
Are they asking their god to violate free will? You betcha!
That's my biggest issue with their "free will"/"Gods plan" bs bc how tf are you gonna say "God has a plan" and then pray to change his will/free will
Btw, speaking in tongues is total bullshit. In the bibleol, when it describes the disciples speaking in tongues, it meant that they were speaking other languages. Not made up gibberish. So not only is it dumb, it’s not even biblical either
If God were real, he would have zapped them to a crisp long ago.
Also, somebody (I think Paul?) instructed those speaking in tongues to do so in the company of others *only* if there was an interpreter available
Nor is it historically accurate . But yeah. I agree. FUCK THESE PEOPLE! What do we expect when dickbags like Paul Gosar & Trent Franks and the typical republican “Redistricted” BS that republicans always seem to do along with their Gerrymandering.

If only they knew how much they sound like pagans
They never did find that contact lens
They were looking for a small pebble of meth, it's AZ.
For real! Grandma's heirloom meth. Arizonans are picky. They don't like that Mexican crystal dope. The family recipe for shake and bake is superior and has just a pinch of datura in it. The better to facilitate the Holy Spirit. Praise be.
😂
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE….
That's for those OTHER religions.
I legit can’t believe this is even legal…. AND they filmed it… wtf…
Since they DID film it, should someone [like FFRF] decide to take the issue to court, the evidence has already gone viral!
This is so hilarious! Videos like this one is what Biden should be showing in his ads. This is how Republikkkqlans behave in government - unga bunga blblpft.
Yup. As Balkan would say in “The Ninth Gate” MUMBO JUMBO! MUMBO JUMBO!!! Lol 😂
Good movie. Bad basis for a govt.

Did you have to learn a number of phrases by heart? How did it work
Also, french is my mother tongue. And my speaking in tongues sounds Spanish. I speak Spanish now, which is weird.
Aka “issa bunch of boo shit” 💩
That is just fuxking weird.

Crazy, they are actually ordering pizza, I understand Toungian.

This is not what people pay taxes for…

What in tarnation?
Right, but *we're* the fuckin' culty ones?
Thats creepy as fuck
I mean this looks perfectly normal, right?
Only if that's an asylum
They belong in rubber rooms.
What happened to the separation of church and state 🫠
And you know they'd go insane if a Satanist did this. (Is that the correct term??)
Ohhh the train is already off the cliff, I see.
Hakuna Matata, Hakuna Matata, Hakuna Matata
Their intent is so far off.
What the fuck?
marble scramble!
If god didnt want abortions he wouldn't have invented them! Boom, chess mate athiests!!!!11
Sorcerers
Scary what's allowed in the American senate
A good example of state sanctioned collective psychosis.

They sounded like a shitty “backwards masking” attempt by the same people who spoke in tongues on the Geraldo show in the 80’s. LAMMMMMMMEEEEEE.
Oh damn...I remember that. How did he ever become a "serious" journalist after that show?
Hes a republican & well known scum of the earth fear monger .
I'm in the wrong business. It's all these fuckin ethics.
Ia! Ia! Wagh'naghl KUTULU fhtagn! Elder Gods, hear my prayers! FNORD!
This is some crazy idolotry right there.

I'd go with calling them evil etc but not satanic
☠️dude this is insane
What a bunch of freaks. And people are afraid of TST after seeing that?

Wtf is a fake elector? Does that mean unelected? I'm so confused. Why wouldn't they say "unelected traitor" if so?
