45. Dated a girl from a Pentacostal church
Fri Apr 12, 2024, 01:19 PM
Apr 2024

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.
