Republican candidate: 'yoga opens you up to Satanic possession'

Is it just me or are christians getting stupider by the election...

EW Jackson, a conservative pastor who has never held elected office, made the remarks in his 2008 book, Ten Commandments to an Extraordinary Life: Making Your Dreams Come True. The passage was highlighted earlier this week by conservative website the National Review, which was profiling Mr Jackson. He wrote: "When one hears the word meditation, it conjures an image of Maharishi Yoga talking about finding a mantra and striving for nirvana ... The purpose of such meditation is to empty oneself ... [Satan] is happy to invade the empty vacuum of your soul and possess it." He adds to "beware of systems of spirituality which tell you to empty yourself".
