Mom Confessions

Charismatic Christians are those who are trying to restore the more supernatural dimensions of early Christianity — speaking in tongues, performing miracles and believing in modern prophecies. This is the world of next-gen televangelism, ecstatic megachurches and itinerant prophets. Nondenominational charismatics are the energetic, tech-savvy, insurgent populists of American Christianity. Many of these nondenominational charismatics eagerly embraced the Reconstructionists’ dominion ideas (if not their formal Calvinism), giving rise to the populist charismatic style of Christian supremacy. At the front of this pack is a pastor (sometimes referred to as prophet) named Lance Wallnau, who has taken some of these dominion theology ideas and rebranded them as a prophecy called the Seven Mountain Mandate.

RIchard Feynman didn't know Italian. But he did listen to radio broadcasts in Italian as a child, and could copy the rhythms and intonation of impassioned Italian speech.

Later, when an adult, he had cause to make a speech in this pseudo Italian. Many of the listeners, who themselves did know Italian, would later swear that they hadn't quite been able to make out the words, but were sure he was speaking their language.

The mind fills in the blanks.
