So, Mormon or Muslim? I'm betting Mormon.

Yeah, the coffee is a bit of a dead giveaway. About the only two religions I know that abstain from caffeine are the Rastafarians and the gullible dorks who think that a Bronze Age civilization of former slaves somehow made it from the Middle East to the Americas.

Muslims and Mormons have similar strictures around caffeine.

For me it was the yoga. I'll bet modern Islam doesn't have much of a reaction to it. In US religions. yoga is in the category of "things foreigners do" and is therefore of the devil.

Can you please point me towards sources on which muslimic communities/branches/denominations of Islam forbid coffee? I was always under the impression that coffee came to western europe from the islamic world.

Turkish coffee is a huge thing too (coffee houses come from that tradition)

Nah my guess is that Muslims would think that yoga is a "Kuffar demon-worshipping practice"

I was married into a Hindu family for 20 years. Yoga as practiced by most in India is literally a physical form of Hindu practice, just way better for you than Christian practices like going on pilgrimages on your hands and knees. It is essentially praying with your body.

If you're really really serious about not practicing other religions do pilates.

Ok i also disagree that ancient jews went to the americas, but the way you say it isn't great. Native Americans originally came from Africa just like everyone else, and they almost certainly went through the middle east to get to the Americas

Probably just a way to justify stealing that land from its actual inhabitants

[-] Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, like only a bunch of pastors in the middle of nowhere, Kansas would make you afraid of those things
