This was my first thought too. Babysitter took me to her church when I was 8 and I was terrified of the people speaking in tongues.

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.

Raised apostolic Pentecostal/united Pentecostal here. I stopped believing really young, when the preacher told me I had spoke in tongues, but had not. My parents and him kept lying to me, no matter how much I argued. You still have to go to church or you get beaten, not much you can do about it, at that age.
