Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Seminary, recently wrote an essay about the evils of yoga. John MacArthur, a famous conservative Christian apologist, and himself a president of a seminary, agrees. He calls yoga a "false religion." Although Mohler's main problems with the practice are its roots in eastern religions and its encouragement of meditation, he also believes that the exercise itself is a sin. After all, he says,
"you're just not doing yoga."
Question: is it a sin to be an ignorant turd? After all, you're not just being an ignorant turd.
Hahaha, well he's right in that I am "not just doing yoga"--when I do yoga, I meditate upon the Lord while listening to a sermon and music on WMPC, a very baptist-friendly radio station. Most mornings yoga time is the most Holy Spirit focused part of my day! Goes to show that ignorance isn't always bliss! Love you, Mom
ReplyDeleteI hear you. If we threw out of our lives any and all things that have a dubious beginning (Christmas trees) or some relationship to evil, (computers) there would be nothing left. However, if a new or sensitive believer had a problem with something I'm doing, I'd have to consider their feelings in the spirit of love. Love, the other mom
ReplyDeleteStupid is as stupid does. I think the same would apply to turds.
