I'm religious and that speaking in tongues thing is scary to me. I like the soul/rock concert though.

Yeah, I can respect that. Other than the black churches,it seems that a lot of local churches dont "get down and boogie" It seems like the white people are just afraid to enjoy themselves, for fear of feeling guilty or something.

Maybe I'm over-analyzing it tho.

Speaking of speaking in tounges:

You are right on the money. Those little white painted black churches would rock.

You think the whites are more reserved out of guilt or afraid to enjoy themselves? Why? Whites sure do get down at rock concerts. Mosh pits and body surfing. But you are right. White religious ceremonies are much more reserved. Across the board. Speculate.

I speculate that anybody who says anything about whites "across the board" is gauging individuals solely by their racial background. There's a word for people who do that...

At least catholic school was kind of fun. It was exactly like a normal school except with a 'religion' class. I always enjoyed religion class 'cause I got to turn the crosses upside-down and draw pentagrams on the chalkboards.
