Well recently I took one of those fun quizzes from myspace that supposedly tells you which tarot card you are! It told me I was the devil. So I guess it is my cards! :rofl:

Avoid an class which teaches breathing exercises;

In reference to the original article and on a more serious note.

I find it rather sad that someone has that much LACK of faith in their chosen religion and that much ignorance of other religions and beliefs that they feel the need to attack something like martial arts for fear it will subvert them.

Good point. If people are strong in their faith and beliefs, why are they so worried that they will be "corrupted" or whatever? I've never understood that. :idunno:

I have read that article before and I remember it raising my blood pressure to a catastrophic level.

As a born again, bible believing follower of Christ, I find folks like the author of that article compete and total WHACK JOBS!

A comedian once commented that parents in middle america didn't want him to perform in their little town because "he would ruin the values that they worked so hard to instill." My question is how hard could they have instilled them when they could be wiped out in a 45 minute show?

That kind of article shows just how fragile and shaky some people's beliefs are.

Sheesh what ignorance.

Does anyone disagree with me when I say that Chi/Ki, is nothing more than working with the bio-chemical and neuro chemical energy that all people have?

There's nothing mystical about it in my humble opinion. I believe that the ideas of the past were just ways of those who did this training were merely trying to explain what they were doing without the benefit of modern science.

Anyone care to advance or refine my thoughts on this?

The training methods and philosophy behind those chemical energies are what this article is about.

I got to the point where anything not physically possible either comes from God (if God allows it) or the devil, and couldn't take any more...

In the words of Bugs Bunny: "what a maroon!"

But the Nimrod that is being interviewed believes that we don't have these processes going on within us, and this includes All People, not just people who perform these exercises.

I know, I know; I'm finding it very hard to defend this guy. (but try I will) I think I would agree a lot more if he would just shut up about the "why" part.

Bite your tongue! He and I are not on speaking terms.

I objected to the brimstone and the nail clippings he would leave anywhere he was in the barracks so, he swore to be mankind's greatest enemy in retaliation.

Yes, I admit it. It's my fault he hates us. :mst:
