(On a thread discussing Hindus)
Physically? I would say they are a potential danger. Militant Hindus have martyred Christians in India for years. Like Muslims, it's really only the fundamentalists who are violent.
Spiritually? Absolutely! Hinduism is seeping into the Church even as we speak! Yoga is a Hindu form of god/goddess worship! Also, many forms of meditation are Hindu in origin.

Like __insert_religion_here__ it's really only the fundamentalists who are violent.
Physically? I would say they are a potential danger. Militant Christians have martyred everyone else in South America for years. Like Muslims, it's really only the fundamentalists who are violent.
Spiritually? Absolutely! Christianity is seeping into politics even as we speak! Homosexuality is a Christian sin! Also, many forms of oppression are Christian in origin.
Fixed
If only Mario could make such great leaps as you did.
And how is yoga a form of God/Goddess worship? It's fucking excersize. You'd know that if you didn't spend your life in chatrooms pretending to be thin.

@Mattural Selection: "All he needs is "they is stealing me brainwaves" and he'll have the darndest things trifecta."
He must be a child, though, for the quafecta (is that the right word?), as we should not forget "Kids say the Darndest Things" hosted by our lord and savior, Bill Bosby.
Yes, let us convince fundies that all stretching and exercise has pagan roots and is therefore evil. The only thing they'll be left with is sitting on their asses, no crossing legs in pagan fashion please, and staring at PG television -wouldn't want them to stumble on pagan enlightenment or thought provoking listings. As they start having more medical problems, we'll simply remind them that they are not praying enough and god is angry.
Yoga is a Hindu form of god/goddess worship!
Incorrect.
1capitalized : a Hindu theistic philosophy teaching the suppression of all activity of body, mind, and will in order that the self may realize its distinction from them and attain liberation2: a system of exercises for attaining bodily or mental control and well-being
Hindu? Yes. God/goddess worship? No.
Militant Hindus have martyred Christians in India for years.
If your name's Jesus, stay the fuck home, bitch!(No one will get this reference...)
And have you ever had severe period pain? Yoga helps. But I suppose, this goes against "god's will", since it makes a woman's life less painful.
You go to their countries, threaten them with hell, conquer their lands, divide their families, evangelize to them in such a way that makes them fear their Hindu neighbors and relatives...
And then, you believe them to be a threat spiritually? That they're encroaching on your religion?
Oh, my sincerest sympathies!
First of all, this guy is rather mature for a fundie. He realizes that other religions are not full of raving Jesus-haters. This kind of understanding is seldom in FSTDT.
Second: Yes, yoga does have a hinduistic background, which is why I argued with the worst PE teacher in the history of mankind not to do it in class since it violates the separation of church (well, temple) and state. It didn't work since she was too stupid to realize this. She thought Yoga was American ffs!
Third: Nothing bad with a bit syncretism.
Now now, Hinduism, be nice to your younger cousin.
HEY ! Christianity ! Shut up !
At least Hinduism is an honest religion, when they invent a god, they tell you it's invented.
Hinduism is the oldest known active religion, silly. If it was so dangerous, it would have eaten up all other religions thousands of years ago.
Militant Christians martyred Muslims, Jews and other Christians during the Crusades.
All forms of worship are pagan in origin...
"many forms of meditation are Hindu in origin."
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
