Are fantasy fiction and Yoga satanic?

...I always thought gyms and special kids fulfilling prophecy fiction were the devil's work.

.... So I'm satanic to practice yoga daily. My whole family is. Yay.

Repent, Azalea, before you've began crawling all over the ceiling and vomiting on people!
And that sinister avatar of yours - take note of the demonic powers of Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup and see them for what they are: evil homunculus spawns beget by the abhorrent unholy experiments of the mad alchemist Professorus. Arr

It depends on the kind of yoga. Satanic is a stretch but these things are secular and anti-christian. Witches and wizards as heroes and role models for children should horrify any honest Christian. Most often yoga revolves around non-Christian spiritual meditation. I know people who do in fact consider these things evil.

**Lawyered** - you just have me the most awsome idea ever, inkwell. Imagine: a magical prophecy fulfilling little fella who is actually an exorcist who wears a chastity ring and whenever he meets a boy wizard or boy werewolf or boy sparkly vamp - he immediately exorcises the heck out of them, muahaha. Has a sister who is going over to the dark abyss of Buddhism but is saved in the nick of time. Maybe even have a culmination fight with like Shiva, but mets out holy spirit blasts that save the day.
The YA paranormal version of 'left behind'. A hunner million copies sold easy.
But would I ever wash my hands clean...?
P.S. ohmagash, afterthought: and the ring is like a power booster, but if he thinks dirty thoughts or touches himself the power goes down, and if he's all clean thinking and abstaining it goes right up. Pure gold.

Did you mean to post this in the Lounge?

Possibly, I'm more or less a virgin in the non-writing/reviewing /tip-giving spaces of YWS

To the Lounge it goes!

LOL! I find it funny how his favorite movie is apparently the Exorcist! Somebody watched too many movies!

YOGA IS SATANIC AND WILL EVENTUALLY HARM YOU. GO TO THE CHURCHES PEOPLE, GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THE POPE.

If the Bible says it, well... it seems legit.

Oh my god, this is so hilariously obscene it's almost sureal.

Here's what I think: kids know the difference between real life and fiction, so they know witches and wizards and dragons and magic aren't real, so it's just harmless imagination. However, some of the spells in Harry Potter (which is what that article up there is specifically about) are pretty close to certain spells in the real world (according to a friend), and that IS Satanic. So Christian parents should be careful when letting young children read and watch Harry Potter.
The Yoga stretches by themselves are in no way harmful, but when you add the chanting or mantras or chakras or whatever it is they're called, you invite a certain Hindu serpent spirit called the Kundalini spirit into your body and brain. Seeing how the Devil's creature of choice is a snake... well... make your own conclusions.
