I shudder as well …

… zmkc: Mystified.

The babbling and swinging and hands in the air of Charismatic Christianity strikes me as about something quite different. There is no room for quietness and a momentary loss of self in those rituals, although there is ample opportunity for showing off and standing out from the crowd. In our narcissistic age, I presume this is the source of its increasing appeal.

I attended a charismatic Catholic gathering once and was appalled. Religion reduced to cheap tricks.
