Elaborate pl0x
Twitching, being "taken over by the holy ghost", speaking in tongues, crazy dancing from strange old men, that one kid who got a boner from "praising".
Was it a black church.Quote:

At least on some sort of level. Lol I was brought up catholic as a child and church was boring, but my grandparents use to go out to eat every sunday.
I think it was the only reason I could through it, then again if it was that entertaining as a kid I'm sure I would have loved it. lulz.
I'm not joking either. You could see it clear as day. Pitched tent in the front of the church while singing and dancing. I was holding back laughter.Quote:

I'm sure if you watch the intro to true blood you see what I'm talking about (note that it's only a lighter version of Pentecostals >_> )
Remind me to totally go see that before I die or something. Seriously sounds like something fun to do before halloween.Quote:

naw dude you probably just went to a weird service D: i know what you mean though when people are all like HALLAUUULLLYAAAHHHH RHEHRBHEBRHEBRHEB and theyre all yelling and like being taken over by the "holy ghost", now those people really are just weird but in a NORMAL church service like i go to we have a church band which i actually played drums for once and they sing a couple songs then the preacher talks and stuff then prays a bit and its over its like an hour and a half its not creepy like the other services with people falling over and like crawling around on their knees screaming rofl.
Duuude, that's how this service went. The people in the crowd or whatever you want to call it are the creeps. There is no such thing as a normal church in Louisiana. >_> Maybe the non-denominational churches.Quote:

Islamic services are interesting, though if your a woman you have to be covered and sit in a separate room and watch the whole thing on a tv.
Honestly, my messing with other religions convinced me to remain catholic. Mass is only and hour and not completely insane.
You want scary? Go sit down and learn the details of the Mormon faith from someone high enough up in it. Jesus and Satan are brother, god is a man from another planet, god has a wife, Mary is their spirit child and god goes down and does her, you wear magic white underwear to keep demons away, you have to give money to learn secret hand shakes you do with god to get into heaven, and if you're good enough you get to be god of your own planet. Its the original Scientology.
