Sorry, sweetie: a concerned viewer asked Pat Robertson whether yoga has its origins in evil. Well, bad news: by repeating yoga mantras you’re praying to pantheistic gods and are apparently engaging in ‘spooky’ activities, though Robertson doesn’t go so far as to admit that it’s evil.
I guess we can file this one amongst all the other, um, ‘interesting’ things that Robertson has said.
Many fundamentalists besides Robertson have this same problem with yoga. The Buddhist / Hindu elements of the mantras set them right off.
Maybe they need someone to do “Bending To The Scriptures” ala Richard Simmons.

Eeew! I’ll need to do a lot of heavy drinking to get that image out of my mind.
Ok – this is scary. I just wrote a post on my blog about this exact same thing. http://twobadkitties.wordpress.com/2007/11/29/another-reason-i-dont-go-to-church/

Egad, isn’t the combination of religious righties and Richard Simmons like mixing matter and anti-matter? In any case, I’ll be drinking with PD…
