a thread about a pastor who regularly "spoke in tongues" -- until someone in the congregation realized that he was speaking one of JRR Tolkien's Elvish languagesThat was from a Christian satire site.

One was “The Huron Carol.” Oral tradition attributes it to Jean de Brébeuf, the first Jesuit priest fluent in Huron who was later famous – and canonized – for his stoic calm while being tortured at the stake and scalped.

Here is another truth that “slipped out”.
I bet the priest Jean de Brébeuf didn’t torture anyone. In fact, I bet part of his mission was teaching these savage and primitive people not to torture each other.

I know this... well, dope, who’s life dream is to translate the Old Testament into Creek, or Iroquois, or some language, and teach it to the “Native Americans”.
The difficulty is that he’s having a devil of a time learning the language, since nobody speaks it anymore and then he’d have to teach the “Native Americans” how to speak it again.
Typical Liberal do gooder swimming up stream and jousting at windmills.

Well that’s a cute story, but don’t for one second believe that speaking in tongues is some fakery or “elvish-speak”.
The lack of knowledge of the gifts of the spirit in the secular/mainstream denominational worlds is nothing short of shocking.

Beaver wars! When I was younger I would get involved in one almost every night. Now I’m lucky if I get in a tussle once a week.

Maybe I’m late to the party, but the excellent Canadian film “Black Robe” has a lot to say on these subjects.
