    rhetorical tool

    But, have you ever seen these churches where people speak in tongues and "drive out demons?" It's really bizarre.

    Embarrassing even, to see adults who should know better carrying on that way.

    Any medical specialist in abnormal psychology will assure you that extremely damaging psychoses can be induced by sheer will and constant practice. These are the people who end up straitjacketed in padded cells with delusions of being Napoleon. In case you were wondering where they came from.

    Other psychiatrists will assure you that their churches should have locks on the doors, big guys in white coats who don't smile hanging around, and an attending physician. And even they will assure you, shaking their heads, that severe mental illness is a right guaranteed by the Constitution.

    On a lighter note:

    Jesus walks into a motel and lays a bunch of nails on the counter and says to the clerk, "Can you put me up for the night?"
