Meditation is wrong? [Spirituality & Religion]

Someone commented that meditation was among the things you should avoid. What religion teaches this? And WHY? I don't mean to offend anyone but that boggles my mind.

Meditation is wrong if it is used for violence to come

@MikefromEP What? Lol
Meditating for violence? I mean some people might meditate before a ritual or use it to get in a trance for something else. But how does relaxing your body and mind bring violence?

@gemimaia Do you think people strap on bombs to themselves without meditating for the wrong purpose first?
gemimaia · 22-25, F
@MikefromEP I don't think people that strap on bombs meditate. Those are very unrelated.

@gemimaia If I was strapping a bomb to my body .. For all the wrong reasons... I would be meditating

Im not sure what meditating has to do with using a bomb. Meditation isn't going to make the bomb go off for you. Meditation doesn't make decisions for you.

@gemimaia Meditation clears the mind. This concept in the wrong mindset is never good

Lol there's a lot of things that can clear your mind. Taking a bath, going on a run, eating a good meal.
So are those going to make me want to bomb someone? Lol
You're really stretching with this buddy.

@gemimaia Am I though? Think about it. Would you just put a bomb on yourself and walk out into a public place without clearing your mind? I would never do such a thing.

@MikefromEP My point is that you are linking two factors that don't belong together. You do not have to meditate to clear your mind.
Clearing your mind is not evil either.
Maybe you should do some more reading about meditation and less about bombing. You seem unsettled.

@gemimaia Meditation is used by all types of people. It can be described as peer pressure and a person forcing themself to do something. It can be described as yoga on a self journey to Zen. I am not blind to what meditation can do... I just hope a person takes a few deep breaths controlled and slowly released and comes to the point of.. Sleep on this thought :)
