Does It Tick You Off When People Pray Using Ancient Aramaic Dialects When They're Praying?

[datasuspect]

or what is that Language they use while Speaking in Tongues?

i like my Prayer a bit more subdued, no Snake Handling or Drunkenness in the Holy Speerit for me!

[Hugin]

1. Shucks...

"no snake handling or drunkenness in the holy speerit" Where's the -fun- in that?

:shrug:

[Joe Fields]

2. no. what pisses me off is small children cussing while praying...

somehow it doesn't quite send the proper message when you hear them saying things like, "goddammit, jesus, fucking listen to me!!!"

[datasuspect]

3. i always tell them jesus is busy helping crack babies with no xmas presents

4. I'm not sure whether to congratulate you or give condolences...

going from one shithole to another. But at least it's a new experience and a fresh start. Good luck to you.

6. not really a new experience

it's my hometown.

[greatauntoftriplets]

7. Chicago is not a shithole!!!

:evilfrown:

[Joe Fields]

10. No offense directed toward anyone. All cities are shitholes to me.

[Gormy Cuss]

5. Yes it does, because this is America and they should speak English, dammit. n/t

10. May I offer you a light for that votive candle?

9. Hi there. My buddy and I were wondering if you would settle a dispute we're having. Do you think the word should be pronounced HOMEschooling, or homeSCHOOLing?

8. Sorry, but I couldn't help notice how cute you look in that ankle-length, shapeless, plaid jumper.

7. What's a nice girl like you doing at a First Saturday Rosary Cenacle like this?

6. You don't like the culture of death either? Wow! We have so much in common!

5. Let's get out of here. I know a much cozier little Catholic bookstore downtown.

4. I bet I can guess your confirmation name.

3. You've got stunning scapular-brown eyes.

2. Did you feel what I felt when we reached into the holy water font at the same time?

1. Confess here often?

9. When you die and go to Heaven...

...do you have to go by your confirmation name? What if you hate it?

11. The language is mishmash babble

I've seen dozens of films and videos of supplicants supposedly speaking in tongues, and none of them is any more convincing than my eight-month-old, whose babbling is frankly a lot less ridiculous.

12. Heck no

a friend of mine did it all the time. What a showoff. But then I prefer the stately cadences of Middle Egyptian, circa 12th Dynasty. Those bi- and tri-literals just flow so trippingly off the tongue.
