Wow, I almost forgot I made this thread... I don't get into the R/S very often...
Anyway, I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks this is ridiculous. It's no wonder some other religions think Chrisitians are crack-pots with this sort of thing going down. Though admittedly, there are other religions that do some equally weird shit, but anyway...
I remember going to a church one time with my mom after we moved to a new town. She wanted to find a new church so we were scouting the area. We ended up at one place - I can't remember what type of church it was now - but we went in and sat down, and it seemed okay at first, and then when they started signing one of the hymns, a few people started sobbing and rolling around on the floor and speaking in tongues. No shit. This actually happened right in front of my eyes. My mom and I were horrified and we left immediately.
Come to think of it, that may have been the turning point in my beliefs. I knew my whole life that Christianity just didn't fit for me. I never REALLY believed it, but I always went along with what my family did. But since that moment, I knew that I wasn't Christian. I still accept everyone's beliefs as their own and have no problem with people believing whatever religion they want - Do what you will as long it harms none - but I knew that I wasn't going to be a part of it.
