    I don’t get it. This post is just a Christian looking to mingle. The tongues thing basically means he is looking for a Pentecostal. The weirdest thing about this is the antivax thing which is dumb and the tongues but all religions have weird practices.

      If he were a Pentecostal he’d know where to find that woman, she’d be going to the same church he is.

      More than likely he’s exhausted all of his options there.

              Maybe he needs to find a different church. I’m pretty sure there’s at least one church full of evangelical crazies in his area with a single (probably underage) woman that can be assigned to him by his pastor and forcibly married to him with her parents’ blessings.

                Ah I see, you just despise all Christians. Better you think you are so edgy.

                  How on Earth do you get I hate all Christians from “this crazy evangelical needs to find a different crazy evangelical church for his crazy evangelical wife?”

                  Or is this a “none of those other sects are true Christians” sort of thing?

                  Since you apparently need some very basic clarification: there are plenty of non-crazy non-evangelical Christians I have no problem with. They don’t generally speak in tongues.

                  By the way, that insult wasn’t very Christian of you.

                    You took the fact the guy was Christian and then made an elaborate straw man to mock.

      My grandparents were Pentecostal and my mother was raised in the church. She remembered the terror of polio and saw babies die from measles. We were all vaccinated. Having faith doesn’t have to mean rejecting science. If God created everything, he created medicine and gave us doctors. Bunch of grifters out in the world.

        I didn’t mean to imply pentecostals were all anti-vax, just that they believed in a very specific form of the gift of tongues.
