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

[Eduardo Sanchez]

I think these are distinctly religious practices who are not only occult 
(perhaps), but they are undoubtedly acts of religious worship of 
strange deities and therefore, IMHO, they are forbidden by the first 
commandment. Yoga comes here especially to mind.

I know some Christians in the Catholic churches (i.e., Roman Catholic, 
Eastern Orthodox, etc), and mainline Protestants, who practice these 
oriental disciplines, but I think this is due to lack of discernment 
and a Nietzchean "herd" mentality: These disciplines were presented to 
them as innocuous to their faith and beneficial to their healt, so they 
assumed it had to be so.

Blessings,


Eduardo
