        In france, they do “yoga” for the kids in primary school. My super fundamentalist ex wife refused to send them to school on yoga days because it’s “devil worship”.

          They’re just makeing things up now.

          Oh, yeah, also you shouldn’t eat noodles because they look like snakes, and snakes are a sign of the devil. Also shoe laces.

          I like to point out to these people that it isn’t devil worship, it can’t be, because only Christians believe in the devil. The church of Satan just likes to mock them.

      I once witnessed a national youth development training get detailed for 20 minutes while the facilitators and a sizable contingent debated if it was a physical activity or an imposition of Buddhist/Hindu religious beliefs.

      Yoga connects you to your body, which to the Christians isn’t yours. It is a faith of slavery beginning to end.
