Arizona State Senator Leads Prayer In Tongues On Floor Before Abortion Ruling.

MATTHEW 6:5

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

He's a sinner.

The science on speaking in tongues:

• People don’t tend to use sounds that aren’t in their native language. (citation) So if you’re an English speaker, you’re not going to bust out some Norwegian vowels. This rather lets the air out of the theory that individuals engaged in glossolalia are actually speaking another language. It is more like playing alphabet soup with the sounds you already know. (Although not always all the sounds you know. My instinct is that glossolalia is made up predominately of the sounds that are the most common in the person’s language.)

• It lacks the structure of language. (citation) So one of the core ideas of linguistics, which has been supported again and again by hundreds of years of inquiry, is that there are systems and patterns underlying language use: sentences are usually constructed of some sort of verb-like thing and some sort of noun-like thing or things, and it’s usually something on the verb that tells you when and it’s usually something on the noun that tells you things like who possessed what. But these patterns don’t appear in glossolalia. Plus, of course, there’s not really any meaningful content being transmitted. (In fact, the “language” being unintelligible to others present is one of the markers that’s often used to identify glossolalia.) It may sort of smell like a duck, but it doesn’t have any feathers, won’t quack and when we tried to put it in water it just sort of dissolved, so we’ve come to conclusion that it is no, in fact, a duck.

• It’s associated with a dissociative psychological state. (citation) Basically, this means that speakers are aware of what they’re doing, but don’t really feel like they’re the ones doing it. In glossolalia, the state seems to come and then pass on, leaving speakers relatively psychologically unaffected. Disassociation can be problematic, though; if it’s particularly extreme and long-term it can be characterized as multiple personality disorder.

• It’s a learned behaviour. (citation) Basically, you only see glossolalia in cultures where it’s culturally expected and only in situations where it’s culturally appropriate. In fact, during her fieldwork, Dr. Goodman (see the citation) actually observed new initiates into a religious group being explicitly instructed in how to enter a dissociative state and engage in glossolalia.

Professor of Linguistics William J Samarin concluded:

• While speaking in tongues does appear at first to resemble human language, that was only on the surface.[3]:73, 104, 120-1, 121-127

• The actual stream of speech was not organized and there was no existing relationship between units of speech and concepts.[3]:73, 120, 127, 128

• The speakers might believe it to be a real language, but it was totally meaningless.[3]:121, 127

Anthropologist Felicitas Goodman compared it with rituals from Japan and Indonesia as well as Africa and Borneo and concluded that there was no distinction. It truly is universal and quite easily crosses religious divides.[8]

if anyone thinks this is acceptable behavior in any house of legislation, substitute what is happening here with an islamic call to prayer and prayer session.

did your opinion change? why is it okay that christians can do this and no one else?

Wow. I just had to click on a link on an article to find the video (because why embed... that's crazy talk) to be taken to a tweet that contained a tiktok video.

This experience could only be improved if the tiktok video was a person summarizing a reddit post.

What a world.

His face looks like he drinks the blood of newborn for breakfast.

He looks like alcoholic Mr Potato Head was stung by a bee.

I went to a Pentacostal church many years ago and one time they had a group session to practice speaking in tongues. It’s absolute horseshit.

I certainly thought it had to be just some normal prayer or maybe a Latin chant, but no. Its all of them independently and incoherently muttering to their god while kneeling over the state seal. Separation of church and state is long dead it seems.

We should do all republican laws in tongues!

....yeah my wife needs an abortion...oh they are illegal? Can you show me on the law where it says that? No?

Hey! I don't hate God. I hate that people take the fiction as literal.

Man walks into a psychiatrist office. He tells the doctor he speaks in an unknown dialect to a “god”. Is this person committed to an insane asylum? psychiatric institution? Why or why not??

Still speedrunning their way to Gilead, I see...

Did they Photoshop his eyes like that or did he come factory new looking like a demon?

Dude looks just like Peacemaker's dad.

Dehydration has more pronounced effects the longer its active. These guys have been dry for way too long. Scary

Imagine the face you would have to have to do this. This is some Jackass level bullshit.

"My name is Johnny Knoxville, and this is the Regressive Congressman has a Psychotic Break on the Senate Floor bit."

Man, all this speaking in tongues talk lately is giving me PTSD. Next they'll be getting "drunk in the holy spirit". Every time they pulled this shit at church, I wished my mom would have chosen abortion instead

Incredible face!

Are we sure this isn't the onion?

Am I crazy or does he looks like Trump and Elon Musk fused together?

Beware the Nam Shub of Enki.

Crazy Muslim fundamentalists
