Rev. Albert Mohler has made a fool of himself by condemning yoga. Mohler should have banned his followers from eating at McDonald's instead since Big-Macs are bad for you.
REV. V ince Albert Mohler is not the Fool here, vince albanov is. comparing beleiving in JESUS with a big-mack should give even the most dences person an idea of how out of touch vince albanov is. What vincealbanov need to do is follow in the foot steps of REV. ALBERT MOHLER!!!
