[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have perfect reasoning ability. You all are clueless.

I am not writing in links so the links can prove my point, but to make the point that all the links you send are meaningless, because all the sources you bring up also have written articles making my point.

You can be selective about the words you use, and pretend that you are using something secularly. It is still the wrong place for it. You think you’re being cool by adapting these behaviors, and don’t take a minute to think for a second of what they mean. You are the same people who are tearing down statues because their origins are linked to slavery, but refuse to look at the roots of meditation because it makes you think you are hip with your expense yoga pants.

You are just empty heads. [/quote]

OP first of all, it's a lousy comparison. 
With reference to Confederate statues as an example, their origins aren't so much linked to slavery in many cases, they are linked to Jim Crow. A lot of this was done after Reconstruction ended, got ramped up during Jim Crow, and kept getting ramped up during the mid-20th Century civils rights struggles. And statues, after all, are created to express specific things.

As for meditation, how do you even know that non-believers had not used such techniques in the past? We're talking about physical things people can do all by themselves.

You know, the first printed book in the West was the Gutenberg Bible (and transmitting the Bible to ordinary people was a huge force in the early development of publishing in the West). You want we should eliminate printed books from school because of the roots of printing in western civilization?
