NO YOGA!

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/10/07/national/main6935443.shtml



QuoteOther Christian leaders have said practicing yoga is incompatible with the teachings of Jesus. Pat Robertson has called the chanting and other spiritual components that go along with yoga "really spooky." California megachurch pastor John MacArthur called yoga a "false religion." Muslim clerics have banned Muslims from practicing yoga in Egypt, Malaysia and Indonesia, citing similar concerns.

You have got to be kidding me.  Yoga is great therapy and I fail to see how it detracts from practicing a faith.  One more pastor wanting his 15 minutes, eh?

He's not just a pastor. He's the Southern Baptist Seminary President.

I bet he thinks Obama is a Muslim too.

How about those Christians who do the whole speaking in tongues thing?  To me, that's flat-out creepy.

I attended a Southern Baptist service in Joplin several years back and the pastor there warned the congregation that if you performed yoga you were "playing with fire". Didn't go back.

I am Roman Catholic, but I was raised Southern Baptist. I just wanted see what my old religion was up to. Looks like I made the right call.

Edit:  No disrespect intended to any Southern Baptist folks. It's just not for me.
