Yoga thread tangent.

Here's a question. At what point do you stop accommodating the minority (in this case those that don't feel the spiritual aspect can be separate from the physical aspect). Most people, including me, don't see any problem with the physical aspect but I also didn't see a problem with posting the 10 commandments in a court house either, being they are part of at least 3 major religions so the 'state' was not promoting any single religion. So how few is to few to accommodate?

I think if it is unconstituional, it should not even matter if nobody was offended. If it is constitutional, and it offends everyone, that would be ok too. Lawmakers could change the constitution in the second instance, if the act was so egrigious as to warrant it.

But in both cases some view it as the 'state' promoting or having everyone participate in a religion.

There is no list of ten commandments in Islam---while all of the commandments can be found in the Koran, they are not together. Jews divide the ten commandments differently than Christians, and the version that was in the court house was the Christian version.
