Comments by "" (@dingokidneys) on "What "Speaking In Tongues" Does To Your Brain" video.

  1. I had an episode of speaking in tongues when, while running, I tore my hamstring and face-planted into the bitumen. The children nearby went quite white in the face and their eyes grew wide at the stream of language that came, quite unbidden, from me.

  2. Having read about pentecost and that the purpose of the "speaking in tongues" was so that people who didn't understand the normal language of the apostles would hear the apostles preaching in the language of the listener, I've always been highly skeptical of glossolalia. The first time I heard someone do it in a church that I was attending, the hair stood up on the back of my neck and it gave me the creeps so bad I almost fled out the door. It still gives me the creeping horrors so sitting through this really interesting video was, in part, an excruciating experience. I'm happily an atheist these days.
