Want to hear something funny about some fundies?

Post by Superman »

My fiancé is from Japan. Recently, for a class project I had to attend an Assembly of God (Pentecostal) church and write an analysis of the events that I watched. My fiancé' insisted that she go along.

Well, to make a long story short, she thought that she had walked into an asylum. There were people doing the usual stuff: dancing in the aisles, speaking in tongues, talking to themselves, etc. Being an anthropologist, I tried to explain to her what these people were doing.

Try explaining a Pentecostal church service to someone from a country like Japan. She still thinks that they're nuts.

Of course she does, since they are nuts. Your fiance is obviously quite observant.

You're an anthropologist eh? Did you just go in there quietly and watch or did you tell any of them that you are using them as your lab rats? :mrgreen:

Are you joking? It was an undercover job. I'm pretty sure that they would have kicked me out of there.

Another reason why we can't let fundies take over America and Canada. The number of dancers and speakers-in-tongues would infest the streets. :roll: :lol:

Indeed - this is the Pentacoastal church.
