That's pretty funny.

I agree with the dancing analogy. In black pentecostal churches, music, dance and tongues all go hand in hand. The Spirit overcomes us in all three. In fact, the appeal of a black pentecostal church service is roughly similar to the appeal of a night in a jazz club. Would it be possible to brain scan someone in a religious (or non religous0 moment of dance) and compare the brain to a tongues speaker?
Perhaps tongues evolved because dance was forbidden in the Holiness churches where tongues started. We just can't always live within the rigid structures that society requires. Tongues and dance are the outlets.

What do you think of a religion based on this sense of 'being overcome'? It seems very different from religion based on deliberate effort and self-discipline like Buddhism or Confucianism.
