Public high school football players risk being suspended for pointing to sky to honor God, but a California school district can get away with mandating yoga, covertly indoctrinating kids in Hinduism. Prima facie evidence of anti-Christian bias.

To do 160,000 exorcisms at one per day he would have to be 438 years old

Unless he tossed them out in groups.

The only thing they could possibly offer in defense is that people who practice yoga usually know nothing about Hinduism.

Their name was “Legion” for they were many (many thousand).

I’m not sure that excuses them. It never worked for me when I didn’t know the speed limit.

It’s just a human mental construct to answer the ultimate unanswerable question.

There are people who believe in 'word magic' ~ they'll argue that even if you don't know what the words mean you are under the spell of whatever diety first advised someone to say those words.

BTW, I don't believe in word magic.

People can be possessed or oppressed by more than one demon at a time. So performing one exorcism on a single person my cast out hundreds. But thanks for doing the math.

Of course - yoga improves your health and lengthens your life, extending the time you will spend away from the Kingdom of God. It’s much holier to eat at McDonalds every day and never exercise, so you can go to be with Him sooner. :)

As far as I can tell yoga went from whatever it was all these centuries to the means by which the western media can depict ‘spirituality’ in commercials, TV and movies without indicating anything icky like Jesus or God.

I’m 36 years old and ALL of my friends are into yoga. I avoid it at all costs for this reason.

“False gods of Hinduism.”

Wonder what the Hindus have to say about their god.

I think I read that the best estimate of demonic number is actually around 3 million, one third of the heavenly host.

Hindus greatly differ on which of their gods are true. Some sects say Vishnu. Some say Shiva.

Yoga? That’s where you sit down in ways calculated to put you in a wheelchair?

Prefer yoghurt.

While the LSM will take anything Christian and make a mockery of it, it’s articles like this one and the one down thread about whether or not online dating is Biblical that simply gives the media more fodder. I’m more concerned about Christianity and obamacare, homosexuality, etc. than my cobra pose.

I learned about the positive influence of exercise in Military Acadamy 35 years ago. There was no yoga and it was big time christian based.

My liberal friends and clients do yoga. None of my conservative folks do yoga. They either go to a gym and lift weights, ride a bike etc, play in a b-ball league or do nothing. Conservative guys I know wouldn’t be caught dead in a yoga class. Just an observation.

The media will NEVER stop mocking.

Follow your convictions and let ‘em holler.
