Even though anchovies, black licorice, and the internal organs of animals (especially beef liver, but not so much for foie gras and optional tripe in Pho) were vastly unvaliant in the Heaven Wars, the religious repudiation by the Lord's true Church unjustly falls on the Tea and Coffee plants. These plants were way more valiant than oysters or beets. This makes little sense since green tea is the healthiest drink available.

Why are these prohibitions from the Heaven War so strange?

Does anyone agree with me that baklava was the most valiant pastry?

Quality pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are surely worthy of the most honorable mention.

Are said cookies a pastry?

Both the pumpkin cookies and the baklava valiantly sat on the shelves throughout the Heaven War.

Maple and Pecan lattices.

I had thought the commandment was referring to, "hot drinks". Which was interpreted as caffeine.

What's more goofy to me is the idea of a "war in heaven" in the first place. (Rev 12:7-10.) Imagine a bunch "spirits" or "angels" waging all out war against Big Daddy Most High who allegedly possesses all power in the universe. The rebels must have either been insane - which absolves them of any guilt - or Big Daddy Most High have some sort of "achilles heel" that the rebels reckoned they could exploit to take Big Daddy down.

Or it's just a fairy tale, made up by somebody who didn't think it through.

It goes to show that political intrigue and conflict are part of the Human condition. Extra proof for this story: Donald Trump and the MAGA movement seem directly linked to the Lucifer contingent being tossed from Heaven based on the Big Lie. Direct from the glorious realm into pickup trucks. MAGAs are gullible beyond all reason.

I doubt it was a war if it's true in the sense that we know war. I personally don't believe it. It's never really sat well with me. Perhaps some spirits may have not wanted to come to earth but then that would imply that we didn't know the plan or the point. I don't know. But humans throughout existence have gone against "god". So who's to say they wouldn't in his presence?

Love the avatar, pirate!
