Anything for a buck. Satan's money's still just as green as God's.

And yet, she's standing in a typical yoga position (warrior or something alike, if I recall).

Ice -- Yeah, Xians are often under the impression that by renaming someone else's good idea, it becomes their good idea. Also, since yoga can instantly turn one into a Hindu, giving the name a Xian twist will make yoga safe.

Sounds almost like what Stormie Omartian (wife of record producer Michael Omartian) has done for years.

How does that praise god? Does he send you to hell for not being limber enough, or something?

Haha if you read the \"why a Christian alternative to yoga\" she based it off of hebrew letters.
It's hilarious, but at the same time sickeningly condescending, because since yoga is of another religion, it's 'evil and needs to be modified'.

Yet oddly they don't teach what every Christian hypocrite needs to know, and that is how exactly to comply with requests to, \"Go fuck yourself!\"

It's just like the 2nd coming of the Lord, only creamier!

In the video game Deus Ex, ideas like this one got lampooned in a well made billboard
\"Holy smokes brand cigarrettes, They're saviorific!\"

Oooh, we need to put the Praise mayo picture in the response every time we get one of those fundies just dying to get on their knees for Jesus!

Absolutely!
It's the answer for every fundie who fears their relationship with Jesus is a little one dimensional right now and starting to fizzle.
Just a dollop on the tip of your tongue everytime to receive 'the host' in your mouth, aka 'body of Christ' aka 'communion' aka 'Holy Eucharist', aka 'wine and cracker night'.

Um, is this not reminicent of Christian history where they took over pagan rituals as their own spiritual occasions - keeping the rituals basically the same and just renaming the spiritual figures in it (which were often based on pagan \"templates\" as well?)

Yes. One of them is Christmas.

And don't forget Easter (Stolen from a Pagan fertility goddess no less - the bunnies are a holdover)
Cynically I suspect the 'Praise Moves' thing is going to make a packet.

Christians don't come up with new stuff, they just put their names on other peoples' stuff, claim it's theirs, and often get away with it.
Christians are the Eric Baumans of religion.

Julian, I'm sure you put my immortal soul in peril by making me laugh so hard on a Sunday morning. Oh, wait, I don't have an immortal soul. Phew! For a minute I was worried, there.

Yoga leaves you open to demon possession, so renaming it 'Praise Moves' will apparently keep you safe.
Dorks.

Yoga by any other name doesn't send you to hell.
