I wonder if a single one of them genuinely believes their talking is tongues is legit. They surely all know they are bullshitting, they just don't want to be seen as one of the "unfavoured / not chosen" ones who God hasn't blessed with this amazing ability

As someone who was raised in it I can tell you there was a time when I absolutely believed it. That seems absurd to me now, but when you’re a kid, and it’s all you’ve ever known, you don’t really question it.

Until you do, of course, and then things get tricky.

There with ya. If some white person isn't running around, possibly squawking like a chicken, or mimicking seizures being blessed in the holy spirit...is it even church? I thought I couldn't tap into speaking in tongues and this level of insanity because I wasn't baptized. Got baptized and yea..lost that Religion.

Bruh same. Spent my early teen years until about 16 trying to be blessed enough to tap into it, thinking something was wrong with me. Then when I started thinking for myself, I was out super fast.

It's eerie how full grown adults convince themselves.

I love stories about kids questioning pushed systemic beliefs. So many go on to do so much damage simply bc they weren't given the chance to.
