The threat befuddling Christians is yoga?

But this narrative stands against the easily verifiable historic realities: Middle East, Egyptian, and Mediterranean cities continued to thrive, as centers of learning, commerce and development long after the fall of Rome.  It wasn’t until the mid 7th century that the decline began.  In case you are unfamiliar the founding of Islam dates roughly 620 and was in full tilt conquest boogie by 700 AD.

		<description><![CDATA[We say morality and mean "Don't cuss, smoke or chew or have sex with those who do."  We think it an extraordinary moral stand to put on our Puritan hats and boycott movies that mention testicles.  We get agitated when someone is blunt, but conciliatory when tyrants advocate all manner of despotism.  We can stab each other in the eye as long as we smile and heaven forefend the victim complain about ill treatment with any passion.
