In reply to the discussion: AZ legislators kneel on Senate floor and "speak in tongues" [View all]Johnny2X2X
(24,294 posts)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.

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

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

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