What should we believe when opinions can be so deeply rooted in Religion? I wonder why would the blogger not consider other forms of exercise as demonic like Zumba, Aerobics or even going to the gym? The article deserves a read and the comments he received are even more interesting. Maybe you can opine.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..A Christian blogger is warning those who follow his faith that practicing yoga is like playing with a Ouija board.
“You may perform the moves without consciously seeking the demonic trance they were designed to help you attain, but it would seem you are playing, quite literally, with fire,” Matt Walsh wrote for the Daily Wire.
He repeatedly called yoga a pagan practice.
“I don’t think all yoga practitioners go to Hell,” he wrote. “But neither do I see how a pagan ritual could ever help someone get to Heaven, and maybe that’s reason enough to leave it alone.”
In addition to his blog post, Walsh also railed against yoga on Twitter:
I know a Christian family that once did yoga. They all spontaneously combusted & their relatives got charred letters that said “We are in hell now; don’t yoga.”
The Ouija board was designed as a fun party game and only later had “spooky” connotations added. Calling yoga “Hindu worship” is completely ignorant. Matt Walsh is a superstitious buffoon who apparently can’t do a google search.
What’s it like to be this scared of everything dude
My neighbor started doing yoga and then mysteriously my dog died three years later.
My friend sneezed and I said ‘gesundheit’. Now we’re both German. I should have been more careful.
So I’m gonna have to assume your celebration of Christmas doesn’t include decorating a tree
I don’t know, man. One minute, you’re in downward dog, and the next minute, you’re ambushed by Ouija boards and accidentally become one with the universe. Can’t be too careful these days.
My cousin grew six extra arms and elephant ears. True story.
Additionally, Jesus didn’t jog, people! Track was invented by the ancient Greeks, who were pagan idolators!
I’m pretty sure God knows I’m all about yoga to get the kink out of my lower back and try to tone my fat body. My God is sharp enough to know there is not even a tad of idol worship but some straight up sweating and muscle burn.
no one tell him about Dungeons and Dragons.
