I heard that some american christians pray "in tongue". Not sure I understand what that means. Do they pray in latin?

Dunno. I know Jews trapped in the Midwest pray for tongue. That, or maybe a nice brisket."I have as much authority as the pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it." — George Carlin -
It's part of the charismatic movement for catholics. I'm not sure if/how it exists with the prots.
Basically, it's babbling. By definition, it has no direct connection with a particular language.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

It's called speaking in toungues. Supposedly when a person is filled with the Holy Spirit, they begin speaking in the language of God. Like most foreign languages, it is incomprehensible to the outsider, and sounds like mere gibberish. It is not any real language. People who speak in toungues claim the can understand each other when it is happening, but they can't remember the meaning of the words. They experience of feeling of great bliss, love, and contentment. They are usually quite flush afterwwards also.
I have seen it firsthand. It looks like the person is having a stroke. Sounds like it too. My personal belief is that they put themselves into a trance and just begin gibbering. Other religions and cultures have ways of doing the same thing: the whirling dervishes, sweat lodges, meditation, etc. They don't all achieve the same silly looking results, but they all reach an epihany state. Having twice reached epiphany, I have to say it's definately a wonderful place to be. It's like being really high without the druggy feeling.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Btw, it's praying in tongues, not praying in tongue.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Not just Catholics. Evangelicals of all stripes do this. I saw it at a Pentacostal church service.Originally posted by DanS

From what I have seen, such stuff isn't nearly as dramatic as che describes. No trance, etc.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

According to the Wikipedia:
One of the most prominent distinguishing characteristics of Pentecostalism that separates it from Evangelicalism is its emphasis on the work of the Holy Spirit. Speaking in tongues, also known as glossolalia, is the normative proof of the baptism with the Holy Spirit. Most major Pentecostal churches also accept the corollary that those who don't speak in tongues have not received the blessing that they call "The Baptism of the Holy Spirit" (this claim is uniquely Pentecostal and is one of the few consistent differences from Charismatic theology).Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – LessingComment
