Let me just say this plainly. It is very unfortunate that so many of us in the 21st century still cling to European culture and religious practices as Christirianity. Is Ballet Christian? Where does it come from? How did it come to be ac...cepted in the church. Where did we get these robes, incense, worship formats, titles, and structures that make up 'churching' today? Almost all of it was brought in from pagan religions. I repeat, almost all of it is from pagan European religiions. Our holidays are popular European pagan religions that were 'Christianized' for everyone's comfort. I am very concerned that even today, we decide that any 'cultural' or social practice that has any past or present tie to other religions must be banned by churches while we still celebrate using pagan practices in almost every Western Church in Europe and America! What is wrong with our presentation of Christianity? Why doesn't the rest of the world take us seriously? Nonsense like this is why! This is pure racism and prejudice couched as religious piety and purity. All of this quoting of scripture with no relation to the subject. All of you who are serious about banning practices iin the church - do you celebrate Christmas (The Festival of Mithras and of The Invinciible Sun)? Do you celebrate Easter(The Festival of Eostre/Astarte/Diana)? Do you and your friends celebrate Halloween (The Fest of Samhain)? Do you celebrate any of a dozen more popular western church holidays and festivals? They all are rooted in pagan religions! The dress and clothing and rituals - there are dozens of scriptures which directly and clearly contradict and even forbid some practices in mainstream churches today, yet we ignore them. So we come to Yoga - a form of physical fitness and self development that was originally developed and popularized by leaders of another religion. So God made us all so stupid and slow in this day and age that we can only separate paganism from European religions and cultural practices - REALLY???
