Southern Baptist Leader on Yoga: Not Christianity
I guess physicians shouldn't say the Hippocratic Oath, we shouldn't celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25 and we shouldn't use the fish symbol in Christianity. They all have pagan origins.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Southern Baptist leader who is calling for Christians to avoid yoga and its spiritual attachments is getting plenty of pushback from enthusiasts who defend the ancient practice.

Southern Baptist Seminary President Albert Mohler says the stretching and meditative discipline derived from Eastern religions is not a Christian pathway to God.

Mohler said he objects to "the idea that the body is a vehicle for reaching consciousness with the divine."

"That's just not Christianity," Mohler told The Associated Press.
