There's quite a bit of friction there in the next series. <br /><br />@Silus: Along those lines, Cole really appreciated the insight you had to offer the other night. ;)<br /><br />@C.J.: Sadly, it took me a long time to accept that rather than trying to snap together two puzzle pieces that don't initially seem to fit.<br /><br />@Ethan: As for coffee and Mormons, there is a commandment regarding health called the Word of Wisdom (prohibiting the consumption of alcohol, coffee, tobacco, etc.). It is def. a shame to look down on others for different religious beliefs, but I'd say it's more the fault of the people than the actual ideas (in this instance).A Gay Mormon Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366029507118022319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056860424380980828.post-40208009998386307432010-02-27T09:23:08.189-08:002010-02-27T09:23:08.189-08:00So what is the deal with coffee and Mormons?

When you reject all other religions as false you tend not to care what they do and as a result I don't understand the thing with coffee (or tea and beer for that matter)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056860424380980828.post-27583418516365936662010-02-27T07:09:45.529-08:002010-02-27T07:09:45.529-08:00Silus, agreed.

I think, really, at some point, it's about reclaiming definitions for yourself--regardless of what a bunch of self-righteous, homophobic, anti-Constitution jackasses say at church, according to Jesus, anyway, belief is all about a personal relationship with God--and nobody can tell you how to have that.C.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08086277404490573891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056860424380980828.post-89381127931932374812010-02-26T23:01:44.793-08:002010-02-26T23:01:44.793-08:00Many — I'd suggest most — don't do it.

It's starts with recognizing both aspects are really and truly who you are … and then not denying either.Silus Grokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10934750518150584644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056860424380980828.post-32817254580946647162010-02-26T19:28:39.512-08:002010-02-26T19:28:39.512-08:00"Coffee houses in Utah (even corporate coffee..."Coffee houses in Utah (even corporate coffee places) have a stigma attached to them of alternative culture mostly because drinking coffee is a form of rebellion within Mormonism"<br /><br />That is hilarious, coffee houses are alternative culture?!?! I've never been to a coffee house in Utah (I guess it was too much rebellion for me at the time).<br /><br />The gay mormon paradox is intriguing. I honestly don't know how some of you do it. I couldn't be gay as long as I was believing Mormon.Mister Curiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113134172902610883noreply@blogger.com
