Lol, whoops nice catch there. I meant not following the standards of the organized religion of christianity itself.

As for ‘I’m a non practising christian’, i think what that means is…this person was born into a Christian family and just not following the manner of a christian.

Err, what is this “manner of a christian?” Are you referring to churching, or following Jesus?

I think what yati is saying is: whatever you believe in, its a personal matter and we shouldn’t criticize others.

i am a non-practising christian…

WITW is a non-practising Christian??? Ok, though it sounds ridiculous, prolly there’s actually such thing, like an IT programmer that doesn’t program, teh o ais dowan ais, or a blogger that doesn’t blog.

Hmm… Wait, is a non-blogging blogger, still a blogger?

i was told by an ignoramus disguised as a missionary, that yoga poses open your spirits to the pose that you are in, be it cobra, lion, crane etc. and thus is similar to worshipping animals.

I assume that you’ve done your research of what yoga actually is in Hinduism, or you never cared because you don’t care because you think it’s irrelevant, and that whoever that think it’s important and has prolly actually did their study on it is an ignoramus?

hi, i came across your blog while surfing around and sad to say, i know one of these christian “talibans”. i am a non-practising christian and i love what yoga as an exercise does for me. i was told by an ignoramus disguised as a missionary, that yoga poses open your spirits to the pose that you are in, be it cobra, lion, crane etc. and thus is similar to worshipping animals. my question then is, is swimming wrong then, if we imitate the frog & butterfly? should we not jog because such movements also imitate land animals? i do pray for such souls!

Actually i have no idea what you are rambling on about.

When speaking of Yoga/Hinduism or any other religion, the fudamentalist is equally as wrong as the new-age “yogi/yogini.” Claiming one’s way is the ONLY way is wrong and claiming one’s religion fits into ALL other religions is equally as incorrect…one’s choosen way is ‘A’ way. The practices of Hinduism are the various Yogas and not a universal health/exercise just like Baptism is not a religion, it is part of a specific one and not a general term, subject to uprooting it from its source, then twisted into a swim class. Statements in article like “I wonder what will the fundamentalists think when they realize at the end that reincarnation is the real deal?”…is prime ex. of a fundamentalist/universalist mind…they are one in the same, both deluded, none of us can proove reincarnation, although we can respect someones belif or disbelief in it!
As to “whether Yoga is a sin or cult..”, it is neither. However, what is more or a “cult” than someone following a dead leader, making presumptions of what he meant, creating a religion after stealing from another and saying that the dead person is God and the ONLY way to salvation…let’s get the “Kool-Aid.”

The question here is not whether Yoga is a sin or cult, etc but if one feels that by practicing yoga would stumble our weaker brother and sisters in Christ, don’t do it. Otherwise, it is just like a form of exercise. The “Stumbling Block” principle is very important in many gray areas in christianity.

What do you mean by “stumble” here? Does it mean “offended,” or making them “disbelieving the faith?”
