Moderator Joshpantera Posted November 28, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 28, 2018 Snipped from article: “Every false religion is demonic. Hinduism is not a mild, gentile, pacifist religion. Anybody who says that has not visited India,” Lindell added. “Neither is Buddhism. We may have a sanitized view of it in our Western culture but it is not pacifist. It is demonic. It is idol worship.” He also went into detail on a simple, innocent-seeming yoga pose: sun salutations. What most people don’t know is that sun salutations were actually created to worship the sun god Surya. So each time you complete a sun salutation, you are giving credit to the sun god. “That is what all of those are doing. You are welcoming the sun god,” Lindell said. And every time you go to listen to this douche bag on Sunday, the "Sun's Day," you are also worshiping the sun god in the form of jesus christ. It sounds like one sun worshiping preacher has it out for his sun worshiping competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were a pastor I’d be worried about yoga too. Yoga opens up your wallet to demonic influences...influences that will decrease funding of my megachurch. I bet there is a Christianized yoga practice out there that is Satan-free. OMG, look at this: http://www.christianspracticingyoga.com/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
older Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I'm reminded of a public school district in Encinitas, north of San Diego, that tried to have a yoga class for the kids. The fundies went berserk and one of them called it the gateway drug to the occult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were a pastor I’d be worried about yoga too. Oh man I cannot tell you how often my dad went off about how yoga and meditation lead to demonic possession... Funny thing is that yoga is so popular and so healthy that even many evangelicals are doing it. I like to point it out when my parents' evangelical acquaintances are doing yoga and ask "so... what was it you were saying about yoga? Do you think so-and-so is possessed?" They conveniently ignore the question, as they have ignored inconvenient questions all their lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
