> such as the Tongues you received as a kid when you were forced into learning the bible against your will

Wait, what? My wife stopped going to Awanas when some leader told her she was going to hell for not learning the Bible verses. Later I learned that her father was pissed off about the whole situation.

I dated a charismatic christian who did the whole laying-hands on thing and speaking in tongues as a kid. Weird stuff. But not any weirder than any other religion system comparitavely.
As someone who was in an Awana...club(?) for most of my childhood, I never had this happen. That sucks. Some people are way too crazy.
