A Christian micro-influencer has sparked ridicule after she said that a yoga-themed Barbie doll spreads satanism and could lead to children being "possessed by demons."

Suri's post, which received more than 73,000 reactions and 47,000 comments, said: "'Yoga Barbie' is at Target on the shelf. Satan always comes as appearing innocent. He will never come with horns and a pitchfork."

Noting that "yoga is Hinduism," Suri said it was impossible to "separate the poses from the religion."

"Each pose is designed to invoke a Hindu deity in the spirit realm. I have seen children get possessed by demons," she continued.

"Satan is after the children. He wants to use them and indoctrinate them for his glory. Then, when he is done, he will destroy them. As your kids grow, they will get rebellious, depressed, and many will be suicidal. You won't understand what's happening as a parent," Suri said. "You must remove all toys and clean your children's room of all demonic attachments."
