CSA,

Do you believe the Prophets spirituality is therefore reduced because of his Pepsi habit?

Not only does caffeine prohibit the Spirit from communicating with you, but it's also a gateway drug.

Just remember, today's caffeine users are tomorrow's crackheads.

I'm going for the hard stuff ... coffee. I only have a cup a day but if it protects one from the HG, well, I'll just have another.

I am glad I came across this as I am dealing with a caffeine withdrawal headache and if you state is correct my spiritual conduits are opening up. I am interested to see where this journey will lead. I still am eating meat so we should be able to isolate just caffeine related products in this test.

Yes to your observation. The fact (if one is open to a modicum of science) is that caffeine does have
some benefits.

Consider the following:
Benefits of caffeine

While a case, a strong case, can be made against excess on most anything we take into our bodies, there is no case against moderate use of caffeine which can be made rationally.

With regard to “Spirit” mythologies, they are unreliable. Every religious claim for spiritual is countered by other claims on such assertions by those who adhere to other notions of “Spirit” (your claim). There is no evidence that use of coffee or tea or soft drinks (which contain caffeine) is inherently “a gateway drug.”

Your assertion is without merit.

And it's also an antioxidant both caffeinated and decaffeinated.

JAK doesn't know the players on the board well. Oftentimes on religiously related boards it's difficult to tell who is being sarcastic and who isn't.

You are used to it ..but when you aren't it truly seems incredible the beliefs people have.
