Beware! Yoga is the door to Satanic possession!

E.W. Jackson, Virginia Lieutenant Governor Candidate, Says Yoga May Result In Satanic Possession

Actually, I've heard this before. My daughter (a Baptist) was told by my sister-in-law (peculiar born again something) that she had to stop doing Yoga because the movements = worship of pagan gods. Fortunately, daughter knows sister-in-law is a loon, so it wasn't much of a problem...

This guy is an effing nut job. The Cooch (the GOP gubernatorial candidate) isn't any better (he's the one that wanted to make Virtue more "virtuous")
.
I should know, I live in Virginia and all.

Needless to say, I'm voting for the other guy running for gov. The other guy could be Satan, and I'd probably still vote for him, on the basis of Satan being the lesser of two evils .

Technically yoga movements are associated with ancient Vedic deities. Obviously this guy is a fundamentalist. Christian imperialism has committed religious genocide and genocides against people. Yes, before we get responses defending Christians, not all Christians are like that. We just cannot divorce the fact that many of these fundamentalist far right Christian speak with a devils tongue. Even if yoga is in honor of deities and enlightenment, whats to say for all the pagan elements in Christianity? The Trinity concept predates Christianity with the Greek Mystery traditions. The whole concept of the 'WORD' is taken directly from Greek mystery teachings. All of the holidays to even certain forms of worship are all taken from pagans. Consuming the blood of Christ again comes from Greek traditions with Dionysus (also Osiris of Egypt and Mithras of Iran). Eating bread again is taken from these traditions. We could go on with an endless list of pagan elements in Christian worship and doctrine. Unfortunately these fundamentalist do not study or learn anything about histories of their religion and others. So they speak nonsense and the tons of fundamentalist sheep follow them.

Re: Beware! Yoga is the door to Satanic possession!

Yeah, doesn't surprise me. Things that can lead to satanic possession according to Christianist extremists:

Harry Potter
Dungeons and Dragons
Meditation
The Exorcist
Jesus Christ Superstar
Ouija
Tarot
reading the Satanic Bible
Led Zeppelin
bar codes (yes really, no joke)
black cats
and now, yoga

next:
tai chi
voting Democratic
voting moderate Republican

That was a pretty funny article, Thalassa. It's kind of telling that he replaced the Roman garment with an armored breastplate. Kind of like saying "Oh no, you ain't getting in there, buddy..."

*sigh* they think it has to do with the mark of the beast or something... I'm glad to say I really don't understand it...

Re: Beware! Yoga is the door to Satanic possession!

Barcodes are the mark of the beast, the symbol that shows allegiance to the anti-christ and you can't buy or sell without it. Other things people think the mark of the beast is: Credit cards, paper money, welfare, computer chips, usb dongles, and the irs, among many other things.
