No, tarot is a fantastic card game : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tarot_card_games&diffonly=true

Cartomancy using a tarot game cards is stupid though.

Atheist utilitarian technology professional here. I read tarot. Not because I believe anything mystical is coming through the cards. They just happen to be a very rich and rounded set of symbology to lay out and use to talk through a topic. I have never had anyone walk away from one of my readings without saying “that was more interesting than I thought it was going to be.” Of course my style is very interactive and I involve them a lot as we go. Of course others out there take an oracular approach that’s utter horseshit.

The important thing is you have discovered this and are comfortable with that knowledge. That in and of itself is a big deal.

Was about to say this.

Alcohol is one heck of a mixed bag., at best.

Tarot cards have cool artwork on them, and they are as harmful as a RNG, or cootie catchers.

"Using a framing device to interpret your feelings is unacceptable to a scientific mind"

Okay square.

If you don't try to predict your life with Tarot, it can be a fun story creativity task.

There's nothing wrong with tarot as a concept. It's a wonderful self reflection and guided meditation tool. Just don't ascribe magical precognitive powers to it and you're fine.

I like tarot because it’s like „death; the tower of doom; the swamp of famine” and that means that you’re gonna have a chill week or something

There's a bunch of card games you can play with tarot decks. People should mention this more so that they become more popular again. The people using them for non game reasons is the same as if they were using a Yu-Gi-Oh deck for it.

PS: the standard 52 deck is also a kind of tarot deck.

I think that one is for the Mormons? I'm like 85% sure they think caffeine is against their religion.

Mormons aren't allowed hot drinks. I wonder if anyone's made an exception for cold brew.

Under the panties labeled “my sexuality”

Yoga originated as meditative practice in Hinduism with some spiritual goals that are a bit more than just the more generic “mindfulness” you might find in your typical modern fitness class.

(It’s also found in Buddhism and Jainism,)

The physical stretches and poses are great for healthy, low intensity exercise; and meditation is a thing that exists basically in every religious flavor you’d like; so it’s certainly possible to make even a “fundie-approved” version, but eh. Good luck with that.

Ultimately it could have been lumped into “other beliefs”,

It's legitimately a religion, the other organized religions don't like these ancient forms of religion that don't require payments to participate in, and can be learned for free. It really cuts into their business model.

Don't try to understand the mind of a fundie christian.

I've heard sermons that claimed "psychology" was a religion. Their problem with yoga is similar. (It has connections to hinduism. At least that's part of it.)

A lot of megachurches have classes/programs that are almost exactly yoga, but by a different name. The name they give it escapes me.

Hell. There are shops on Amazon that sell yoga stuff (mats, balls, shorts, whatever) without calling it "yoga" balls or "yoga" mats so christians don't feel sinful buying it.

And yes, they're just retailers buying yoga gear wholesale (or drop-ship or whatever) and listing it without using the word "yoga."

Edit: Googling to find if there's a common name for the christian version of yoga, I found this god-awful thing.
