The thoughts of a 7 year-old:
"At the end of the service, the Pastor calls forward people who want healing, cos Jesus healed the sick when he was on Earth. But the same cripples go forward every week. And I asked my mom: "maybe this isn't working?"
I got in trouble for asking that."
Ok, maybe Peter isn't PC by calling handicaps "cripples", but he sure as hell knows something is fishy. This is the branch of Christianity Peter has to endure:
"The Pentecostal family of denominations form one branch of conservative Protestantism within Christianity. A major defining feature of Pentecostalism is their belief in Glossolalia -- the ability to speak "in tongues". Another is the unusual freedom and spontaneity exhibited during their religious services. Otherwise, their beliefs and practices are similar to those of other conservative Christians. They strongly oppose abortion access, equality for sexual minorities, and same-sex marriage." source: religioustolerance.org
