Coffe!? How? I am a little bit confused
-
I think that one is for the Mormons? I'm like 85% sure they think caffeine is against their religion.
-
im an exmo, yeah that's basically it. The "doctrine" we get that from says:
And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly.
this was "interpreted" as caffeine specifically, probably because the cult leaders didn't want to give up hot cocoa.
-
Would iced coffee be okay then? Or they decide hot meant caffeine?
-
Iced coffee is also not allowed if it has caffeine
-
-
It's religion, so it doesn't have to make any sense, that's what's great about it.

Yeah, that one's a Mormon thing. The rule only covers coffee and tea if you want to be pedantic about it, though there are many 'spirit of the law' type people who avoid caffeine entirely.
-
Correct.
Source: Last Podcast on the Left had an excellent series on mormonism.

Mormons aren't allowed hot drinks. I wonder if anyone's made an exception for cold brew.
-
Are Mormons also against alcohol?
-
Yeah, no tea either. Guess they get their 8 cups a day.
-
So, sake served in the proper Japanese way would be double heresy for them

Hot drinks is the scriptural term, but is officially interpreted as “coffee bean” and “tea leaf”.
So you could have peppermint tea, but not tiramisu.
