Did you watch the videos? It wasn't about people "making mistakes" or even looking stupid. It was more about all the different styles of dances--particularly in black churches.

And no, my children didn't do any of that. At least I don't recall ever seeing it.

And you would have reacted negatively if they had? I don't see it as mockery unless there's some hostility involved. Michal's reaction was hostile and hateful; it wasn't simply amusement.
I suppose it boils down to what you think comprises "mockery." IMO, it isn't so simple as "copying." There has to be an attitude behind it.
Ftr, I do NOT think Renda started this thread so everyone would make fun of Pentecostal worship. I'm surprised that you do.
