fundamentalist jews fear SATANIC YOGA!
In the article here, the author discusses the popularity of yoga in Israel and the distress that it causes some Orthodox Jews because yoga has Hindu (aka "polytheistic") roots, and sometimes includes chanting to Hindu deities. The article includes the following hilarious reader's comment (who I think is actually Christian, and not Jewish):
"I personally do not think that Yoga can co-exist with Judaism, because, Yoga is for Satanists, while Judaism is not, unless if I am misinformed."
SATANIC YOGA!!! Is that not the most awesome idea for a music video ever?
That's like, when they cover themselves with the blood of newborns while listening to heavy metal and balance on human skulls to do their UNHOLY CONTORTION MOVES! Are you picturing this? I totally want there to be a Satanic workout video now, with Richard Simmons as the instructor wearing sequined bat-wings and shouting out the directions in deep-voiced Latin while spinning his head around.
in a quasi-related note, this is also hilarious:
