VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia (The Adobo Chronicles) – Televangelist Pat Robertson today warned Christians against practicing or participating in Yoga and Zumba, saying that these popular fitness activities promote the worship of Hindu and Arabic ‘deities.’

Responding to a viewer question on the TV show ‘The 700 Club’ whether she should allow her daughter to continue practicing Yoga, Robertson said that while there is nothing wrong with stretching or exercising, Yoga participants are unknowingly praying to Hindu deities, when they utter what may seem to many as gibberish (Uhmmmm; Kali, Kali, Kali).

After the show aired, Robertson was questioned by Christian reporters on what he thought about another popular fitness activity, Zumba. Robertson said, “Just like Yoga, Zumba promotes non-Christian deity worship. People might think they are just dancing to some Latin music, but they are actually dancing to appease some Arabic deity.”

So, Christian fitness enthusiasts should stick to ‘jumping jacks.’ Unless Robertson also thinks it is a form of worship for some other deity, like Jack in the Box.

San Francisco, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Televangelist Pat Robertson’s recent comment about gays didn’t sit well with a San Francisco coalition of heterosexual parents.

In his comment on the TV Show, ‘The 700 Club,’ the 84-year-old former Southern Baptist minister said that “homosexuals will die out because they can’t reproduce.”

The Hetero Coalition (THC) issued a statement today saying that Robertson is out of touch with reality, pointing out that “it’s the heterosexuals that are giving birth to gays.”

“Is he saying that we, reproductive heterosexuals, will only produce heterosexual offspring,” a THC spokesperson who has identical twins that are both gay, asked. “And how about heterosexual couples who choose not to have children — will they also become extinct?”

THC asked Robertson to apologize on national TV for making that absurd statement.
