[Drum]

2. Please, let the Earth open and swallow these freaks. Safe that for your church...it don't belong in the Legislature

[Firestorm49]

32. I second that "oh brother".

[c-rational]

3. WTF Speechless I am.

[tanyev]

4. So what happened to their obsession with English only???

[yonder]

12. As another DU'er might say: No Shit!

Spot on observation. Made me laugh but its funny/not funny.

[Traildogbob]

5. Snakes and tambourines are next.

What the actual fuck happened to enforcing Church and State Separation? Why can’t WE just ignore the 2nd amendment?

[Takket]

6. this is lunacy..... they may as well be sacrificing animals or burning incense to ward of demons!

[Nevilledog]

19. Don't give them any ideas.

Bonus: one of those morons is Anthony Kern, AZ fake elector

[Lunabell]

7. Somebody call the men in white coats!

?

[StarryNite]

23. Could they come a little faster?

I'm sick and tired of all this sick cultist shit.

[chowder66]

8. That is an abomination.

[MotownPgh]

9. Posting

Thanks for posting. Hope this is shared far and wide so that sane Americans see the way this is headed. Maybe even some commercial, especially for Arizona senate for instance

[struggle4progress]

10. Let them return home to Babel and jabber the Gibberish which is their native tongue

[SamKnause]

11. At what point and time are people going to start demanding proof ???

Separation of Church and State is being ignored.

They bleed us dry by not paying taxes, yet they have a voice in our government.

This is insanity !!!!!!!!!!!!

[pandr32]

29. Spot on!

[Blue Idaho]

13. How embarrassing...

This is the 21st Century for 🐶 sake. I guess I should be relieved they didn’t sacrifice any virgins while they were down there.

[FuzzyRabbit]

14. How to speak in tongues revealed

From the movie saved:

[cbabe]

15. Did the Flying Spaghetti Monster show up?

[EarnestPutz]

26. Hell no. He was later quoted as saying "Those people are nuts. Give me a break".

[Sky Jewels]

16. Dear Religious Nutjobs: Magic isn't real, God isn't real, and

Jesus wasn't supernatural and is never, ever coming back. There. Saved you lots of time. You're welcome. *dusts off hands*

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

17. Use this as the soundtrack to that video

[sinkingfeeling]

18. If I still lived in Arizona, I'd file a suit on people desecrating the senate.

[jalan48]

20. Separation of church and state? To see these people in positions of power is scary.

[FormerOstrich]

21. Seriously?

Is that real? I haven't' seen anything about it anywhere else. It's sad I have to ask if it is real, because nothing would surprise me about some of them. Well...maybe...honest is that real? It looks like they are giving CPR. I didn't listen to it.

[StarryNite]

22. What creepy, sick, sad people they are.

[Earth-shine]

24. It looks and sounds like devil worship if you ask me.

They just need some black robes and pentagrams.

[NanaCat]

31. They're neither smart enough nor moral enough

To be Satanists. After all, Satanists understand things like bodily autonomy and not hurting (or raping) children, enough to have those as commandments, unlike the Judeo Christian 10Cs.

And spare us the rabid exaggerations about the attire of Satanists. I mean, really, plenty of Christian ministers wear black robes:

[Earth-shine]

39. Did I say Satanist or devil worship?

There's a difference.

>> spare us the rabid exaggerations about the attire of Satanists

Spare me your moral outrage over nothing.

[North Shore Chicago]

25. Not a can of Planters

big enough for these nuts.

[keithbvadu2]

27. And one guy turns around to make sure they are on camera.

[malaise]

28. GFG?

These people are deranged

[SarahD]

30. The disturbing part is...

... what they're saying here is more comprehensible than what they usually say in that chamber.

[yardwork]

33. I would be so embarrassed if I had voted for any of these people.

[MineralMan]

34. Three or four did that.

Insignificant in the extreme.

[Nevilledog]

37. We have some very extreme MAGAts in AZ

[MineralMan]

38. Of that I have no doubt.

However, I'm not sure their little show of speaking in tongues has any impact on anything. Just three or four nutcases being nutcases.

It just seems insignificant to me.

[nowforever]

43. Seems significant to me

I count 8 in that circle of crazy. They represent quite a number of constituents and others whose religiosity contaminants the legislative process.

[bluesbassman]

35. This kid makes just as much sense as those knuckleheads.

At least he's going to grow out of gibberish, while they embrace it.

36. This is considered nonsense unless there is a translator present

I could translate this:

We are fools who want to show off our feined righteousness.

[SupportSanity]

47. They need a Pentacostal to English translator.

[dembotoz]

40. remeber they take this shit seriously

makes them feel like they are communicating directly with god
reinforces anything the maga preacher says

[orleans]

41. what a bunch of sick fucks nt

[Vinca]

42. SNL is going to love that one.

Back in the 80's my late father got involved with one of the whackjob megachurches and I went to a service with him once when I was visiting. Sure enough, the crazies talked in tongues. Very, very weird. At least there weren't any snakes.

[Elessar Zappa]

44. As I said on another thread,

where from and when did Arizona get so many Pentecostals? I used to think of AZ as a libertarian Republican state, unlike the evangelical Republicans in the South.

[Johnny2X2X]

45. Dated a girl from a Pentacostal church

We had many frank and honest discussions about religion and she admitted she faked speaking in tongues at church when she was younger because of the pressure to do so and her want to feel like she belonged. Her and her friends were all faking it. And when you went and did it, you got special treatment from the rest of the congregation.

People's faith is their faith, but the fact that people like this not only get elected to office, but then perform this nonsense on the people's floor in the House of Representatives for the state is just disgusting.

[Aussie105]

46. I'm sorry to say this . . .

but those prayer folk need to be deleted from politics.

Politics is about clear thinking and making decisions that benefit the majority of people.

It's not 'Oh, donno what to do, but let's call on the Upstairs Big Guy to decide for us!'

If you are going to do politics like that, might as well shut the whole political shop down and rely on church leaders to make decisions.

(I guess separation of State and Church didn't occur to them?
Why weren't they arrested or removed?
Or at least told . . . Umm, no, you can't do that here?)
