Downward Dogshit
The Wingnut Rule of Law: If it bears vague connotations of magic or any other religion besides Christianity, it must be evil. The new target of AgapePress's ire? Yoga.
The author also says intense involvement with Eastern spiritual practices is known to cause psychological and emotional problems in some people.
That's right, kids; Hinduism and Buddhism are the new D&D. Say "Namaste", and you're two steps away from worshipping Kali and killing people for their jewels.
And since yoga has religious roots, he adds, one could argue that promoting it in schools violates the establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution, or the so-called separation of church and state.
Kff... snort... BWA HA HA HA HA! Is this douchebag serious? Doing yoga is a violation of the separation of church and state, while there's apparently nothing wrong with putting the Ten Commandments in a courthouse. They must think the Founding Fathers wrote the First Amendment with the idea of protecting America from the brown people and their strange religions.
Conversely, he warns that the "deeply religious practice" of yoga, with its roots in Eastern mysticism, may put kids in a position to be influenced by elements that are not at all healthy.
Remember, keep your kids' minds closed. Have them wear blinders when they're not in school or at home! Cut them off from the Internet! Only show them Davey and Goliath tapes-- but not the new ones, because he knows a dirty Muslim!
Christ. On. A. Cracker. How tenuous is the relationship these people have with God if they think a fucking physical exercise routine with the slightest of Eastern religious themes will lure them away from His light?
