I assume this is a reference to what is known also as "speaking in tongues", and I've always wondered about this phenomenon. What is it? What happens when it takes place, and what do the believers think it signifies? Anybody see it? Experience it personally? Proud to be a curious anti-theist, Yigal Arens UC Berkeley
