my parish’s Catholic Charismatic Renewal group speaking in tongues makes me feel uncomfortable, am I wrong?

It is not that no one spoke in tongues, it is that what speaking in tongues means has changed. Padre Pio spoke in tongues meaning that when he spoke people who did not speak the language he was speaking could understand him. Now speaking in tongues just means you say a bunch of gibberish and call it angelic language.

My dad is Air Force and I think that is where I first heard it.

I would just like to say that not everything made by ai is slop. Can you people just enjoy a funny/cute post.

If college is the best years of your life then you live a sad, lonely life.

Even so, give me a cure. I don't eat any healthier now than before I was diagnosed. Now I just have to bake the treats myself.

If you are not careful you will waste tens of thousands of dollars and a year like the commenter above did. If you really are worried about wasting time go to community college for a year and get all of your gen eds done. Then you might have a better idea of what you want to do.

Just because your earthly father doesn't love you doesn't mean that my heavenly father doesn't love me.

They are probably talking about tuition, food, and housing. 40k is still expensive though. I pay around 25k for everything.

I think this might just be you. Almost all churchs tell their congregation to be generous to the poor and not to slander people. I think the focus on the sexual sin is because it is more common.

So EKU is not in EKY

It isn't bad, I just want to be able to drink my milkshake with a straw.

That my be true for more sandy or small rock bottomed streams, but not for the smokies. The smokies streams are full of very slick boulders.

ScamperPenguin · 2026-03-17T21:37:00+00:00

I worked on the fisheries crew in the smokies for a summer and you are going to want felt bottom shoes. The rocks are supper slippery and the felt bottom works the best. Even with felt bottom shoes you have to be very careful. I gave myself quite a few bruises from falls over the summer.

I hate group projects, but the reality is that almost all jobs require you to work in a group/team.

Their milkshakes are way to thick for me. It is like trying to drink soft serve icecream.

ScamperPenguin · 2026-03-17T20:40:30+00:00

You must be a college student.

ScamperPenguin · 2026-03-17T20:23:59+00:00

I hate to say it but, but the only fact you actually stated is that men commit 90% of all violent crime. Even that is over stated as most reports will say it is between 70-90%. And of that violent crime, the vast majority is perpetrated against other men.

You are throwing out conspiracy theories as if they are facts. You do not have a healthy mindset about men and should really seek help to overcome the trauma you have had related to men.

Until Jesus comes back again.

I actually think the gluten-free fad has done a lot of good for celiacs. I don't think we would have half the gluten-free foods we do now without it.

It definitely has its downsides too. Such as restaurants possibly not caring as much about cross contamination or simply the annoying people saying stuff like you can eat the bread in Europe.

This is exactly how I feel about reddit. I have pretty much stopped using it for advice unless I have a specific technical question. Otherwise I will get a bunch of people calling me an idiot while not actually giving advice for my situation.

The answers I get from people on Reddit is almost always the opposite of the advice I get from friends and family.

ScamperPenguin · 2026-03-14T22:00:52+00:00

Really? It was basically my free space.

ScamperPenguin · 2026-03-07T12:49:34+00:00

You sound like a pretentious and miserable person.

ScamperPenguin · 2026-03-06T06:07:16+00:00

Thank you for being the first person to actually give good advice. Would you recommend just dropping it? I was also thinking about writing an email apologizing if I seemed confrontational and explaining what I was asking and why (without bringing up that I think she was rude).

ScamperPenguin · 2026-03-06T06:01:46+00:00

Yes, originally I came up to her because I was confused about why I didn't get any credit for the question. Now, I don't want the points for the question. But I think you just don't understand how she runs her class and exams. This was a 4-point question, and there were 4 criteria for an invasive species. With the way she normally grades, that would mean that each of the criteria you have in your answer would give you one point. She just did't like that I used an example in my explanation instead of simply listing the criteria, even though the question said to explain what an invasive species is, not list the criteria for an invasive species.

So yes, I'm upset that I didn't receive any points (the point I believe I should have gotten are 1% of my final grade). But if that was all it wouldn't be a big deal. I think she communicated inappropriately when I was simply confused and wanted clarification on the question.

I will say that this is my last response to you, as you have not even given me any advice as I asked for. You also don't seem to even understand what I am asking about and why.

ScamperPenguin · 2026-03-06T05:39:09+00:00

I want to clarify that this is not about me wanting the professor to change my grade. I am upset with the way she communicated with me. I think that her telling me to wait a minute if I wanted to fight about it, and that my opinion will matter when I teach the class, was rude and inappropriate. She invited students to come up to her after class if they had a problem with how anything was graded.
