[QUOTE="Mage, post: 1274971, member: 1809"] I know some of you will scold me for touching this subject again in a seemingly off topic thread but I wind it worthy mentioning what I have observed: Nearly all Christians love coffee on the level of addiction. I have spend many mornings traveling with groups of Christians and I was always the only one who could function in morning without liters of coffee. They all drank coffee multiple times per day and felt really bad when having no access to it even complaining how they almost fell asleep during mass due to lack of coffee. It seems that when people make their decisions based on scripture instead of listening to their body they double down on soft vices not explicitly condemned by scripture or their in-group. All that abstinence from sex drugs and minimalist use of alcohol is great, but if you substitute it with socially accepted vices like coffee or overeating, then it begs an obvious question. Are you indeed a human made in God's image with reason and free will or are you an NPC automation being directed by standards of your peer group and scripture? Of course secular society is not much better - most of secular people are addicted to coffee too. But since they are also poisoning themselves with casual sex, alcohol and weed - coffee is not so obviously being the center of their lives. I myself have drank coffee two times in my life, first was in teenage years without milk - found it disgusting and refused to drink it for many years. 2nd time I tried it with milk in adulthood and although I found it drinkable I decided there is no reason to start drinking it now when I have been fine without it for so many years. I have no problems starting my day or keeping awake trough it if I have had proper sleep. [/QUOTE]
