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.

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…
