Americans tend to vastly overestimate the founders' wisdom, but the founders were at least aware that to guarantee religious freedom for themselves, they have to guarantee the same to all religions.

upon meeting Jesus they would tell him to go back to his country.
Very true. This guy was legit crazy, he even thought reading books that wasn't the Bible was dangerous.
That's why he gave me his lecture, I was reading an RPG book during my break.
But why...? I'm so puzzled on why they waste effort banning something both beneficial to people and promotes self-improvement.
The bizarre thing is that a lot of small towns in Alabama have yoga studios because a lot of people have gotten over this nonsense.
But as per usual the crazies hold too much sway.

I'm assuming you are not American. Conservatives are xenophobic asshats who love capitalist white Jesus.
1. Not giving money to christian organisations.
I think we are done. They are always going to protect their grift.
I never gave anything to their wisdom because I don't see anything in the bill of rights about pineapple pizza
There is no limit to their stupidity, is there?
These people should sue their parents, their teachers and their politicians for neglect and mental abuse. They live completely in a rotten fantasy of xenophobia and ancient nonsense that would be laughable for anyone if it wasn't so scary in this day and age.

I have never even thought of Hindu while doing yoga stretches after working out.
Thank Alabama for enlightening me.

My point exactly.
Was thinking this same thing. So many yoga studios around me are nothing more than glorified stretching gyms with very little spiritual embrace beyond saying namaste
It's terrifying to think what would happen if the entire country became Alabama. If these super red state politicians were in control of everything. Handmaiden's Tale is really not far off.
I feel like this is plausible in a terrifying way. Alabama isn't exactly showing itself as a state of moderation. Also, I thought there was a way to get past this? I thought Yoga was rebranded as Jesus poses? What a time to not be able to find the article that had that absurdity. But essentially, without ever mentioning the word yoga, they rebranded everything as something Jesus would have done. Then instead of clearing your mind for the meditation at the end it was something along the lines of saying a prayer on repeat.... aka a mantra.
once had an old person actually claim that. The first amendment only protected Christians as the founders were Christians or something like that.
update 2021-05-21, allowed with name changes
This is like in that episode of King of the Hill where Hank would only do yoga if it had football names.
This is so so lame, those changes literally explain it all. Pathetic fucking white people. Embrace fiddle music and runrig as your heritage, not xenophobia, there is a choice
And thanks to this nonsense, millions of people who had no idea that yoga was associated with Hinduism now know about it.
No one cares. Yoga is just a fun word for most americans, like Salsa.
I'm pretty sure the nutjobs who started it care. Why, I couldn't say, but here we are.
Hahaha the nerve of some people in fucking alabama demanding yoga stay banned because it can't be separated from Hinduism or Buddhism and amounts of religious activity.......why do I feel that argument would only be used against certain religions......
This whole thing is so stupid, not once have I seen someone do yoga and jumped to the thought they were doing a religious act even of some religious do it.

I think I've come up with a way to sell this to the Alabama public. The only allowed Yoga pose from this point forward is "Christ the Redeemer" with your arms held straight out.
This really is some hillbilly Footloose shit. These people are literally worried about their children being converted to another religion at the slightest exposure to another cultural practice in their school. It's laughably naive and xenophobic.
