[CS-FSLUG] Eastern disciplines in regard to our faith.

	Ok, let me weight in on this. Perhaps I'll surprise y'all with this  
one. I believe Yoga is incompatible with Christianity -- it is part  
of one of the four paths to Moksha in Hinduism and I believe is  
inseparable from Hinduism.

	To relate to the other thread: Reading about Harry Potter's fake  
magic, real magic, a fictional religion, another real religion are  
all very different from actually practicing any of those things. If I  
read Harry Potter and start practicing conjuring spirits then I think  
I've crossed the line (even if I do circle myself before calling up  
Mephistophilus :-P).

	I've written something on Yoga before (offline), I'll post it when I  
dig it up.

	-Tim
