Could It Be...SATAN!

The last century provided Americans with a rich array of religious personalities from the fringe, including Sister Aimee, L. Ron Hubbard, Jim Jones, and Pat Robertson. Sometimes--most unfortunately-- even the brightest mainstream Christians make complete fools out of themselves. Albert Mohler, the president of the Southern Baptist Convention's premier seminary in Lexington, Kentucky, holds the honors today by proclaiming that yoga is "not Christianity." OTR thinks most people who breathe already know that. On top of this insult, Mohler says, because yoga isn't Christian, people should avoid it and its "spiritual attachments." Obviously, he needs to take up a relaxing pastime in order to gain some perspective on how stupid he sounds. Without some rest, he's likely to go after martial arts in his next polemic. Here's your link for the rest of the story.

Postscript: Once upon a time, OTR practiced yoga exercises religiously every day, but there was never a time when his workouts turned him into a Hindu. These days, OTR enjoys his vegetables, but he doesn't fear that doing so will convert him to vegetarian theology in any future. His faith shall remain steadfast.

Das Wort sie sollen lassen stahn
Und kein’n Dank dazu haben;
Er ist bei uns wohl auf dem Plan
Mit seinem Geist und Gaben.
Nehmen sie den Leib,
Gut, Ehr’, Kind und Weib:
Lass fahren dahin,
Sie haben’s kein’n Gewinn,
Das Reich muss uns doch bleiben.
