I do not believe in god. I believe in a higher power. Organized religion is one of the biggests, if not the biggest shams in the history of the world.

also im not very big on the whole tounges thing ...
this is a story that happened to me personally... when i was younger my parents were going thru a phase in which they wanted to find the correct religion for them so we went to many different types of churches and temples. i remember going to one , dont remember the name, that spoke in tounges. they asked all the teenagers to come to the front of the room and stand in a line while the preist or pastor came down the line. he placed the palm of his hand on ur forehead and started to pray in tounges. many of the teenagers would begin to cry and shake.. this was my first time here and i was born and raised a catholic( even tho i no longer attend the church) and this was all very weird and kinda freightening to me.. when he got to me he proceeded to place his and on my forehead and start praying in tounges. tis weird and scary feeling rushed through my body at this point i did the only thing i knew to do and i began to pray the way i was taught. the preist immediately removed his hand from my forehead , i was praying to my self not out loud, stared me in the eyes and went to the next person... needles to say it was a very weir and scary situation we never went back...
sorry for the long story...

..

Unless your on drugs or crazy the only way you would think you were speaking in toungs to the holy spirit or god would be if you were being influenced (brainwashed) by some ass bag in a robe praying on peoples weakness for personal profit.
