QuoteMohler said many people have written him to say they're simply doing exercises and forgoing yoga's eastern mysticism and meditation.Oh look, it's another "No True Irishman" in action.
"My response to that would be simple and straightforward: You're just not doing yoga," Mohler said.

This is my favourite part:
"Southern Baptist Seminary President Albert Mohler says the stretching and meditative discipline derived from Eastern religions is not a Christian pathway to God."
Now that is quite a silly thing to say.

S. Baptists churches are all over these parts and I still haven't seen God. I'm thinking their pathway isn't a pathway at all. More like a maze.

Oh, Christians just need to do what they've always done - integrate, bastardize, and claim as their own.

You know what I think happened? I think mister stick up the but was looking in on a yoga class full of young, flexable, lithe women and had totaly natural male thoughts and reponses. Since all natural thoughts and responses are bad and automaticly sinful, for some reason, he felt guilty. If he was guilty then everbody is guilty and so he continues the Christian art of making people feel guilty and shameful for feelings and thoughts that are not only natural but they have little control over.
