Seriously, if you have been denying that christianity likes to control people.... think again....

QuoteMohler said many people have written him to say they're simply doing exercises and forgoing yoga's eastern mysticism and meditation.

"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.
The essence of the mind is not in what it thinks, but how it thinks. Faith is the surrender of our mind; of reason and our skepticism to put all our trust or faith in someone or something that has no good evidence of itself. That is a sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith is not.

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

Yep.  Give them a few years, they'll be claiming they invented it, and have a whole list of babble verses to back up the claim.   :shake:

Apologies to our Christian members but this sort of thing is just bloody stupid, isn't it?

This is just further proof that most Christians are inflexible.

Get it?  :P
I want bad people to look forward to and celebrate the day I die, because if they don't, I'm not living up to my potential.
