\nYoga comes from demons? That’s what Mark Driscoll says. And between you and me, I bet he’d actually know.<\/p>\n

Should Christians stay away from yoga because of its demonic roots? Totally. Yoga is demonic. If you just sign up for a little yoga class, you’re signing up for a little demon class. (SOURCE<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But I’m curious: Does this mean that demons actually do<\/em> yoga?!<\/p>\n

"I'm very flexible. Mark knows." -Demon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We know that Mark likes to exercise. Remember?! He likes to get into a cage and beat up on his boys and other people’s boys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
"I could teach Mark a think or two about cage fighting." -Demon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to the Seattle Times<\/em>, the whole “yoga” conversation was started because…<\/p>\n

\n

Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., warned Christians that yoga is contradictory to Christianity. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So does this mean curry is demonic? Because Hindus love<\/em> curry. And how about Slumdog Millionaire<\/em>? It starred Hindus. And did demons start India? Because LOTS of Hindus live in India…<\/p>\n

And I wonder if the AT&T customer service person I talked to on Thursday was a demon?! He sounded<\/em> Hindu.<\/p>\n

I’ll say it again<\/a>: Mark, you’re a fundamentalist.<\/p>\n

The more I hear from the so-called “New Calvinists,” the more they sound exactly like the pastors and teachers I grew up with (just minus the Calvinism).<\/p>\n
