Wait what religion shuns coffee?
Muslims and Mormons dont do anything that can be considered a drug, like alcohol and caffeine.
Mormons specifically have a thing against green/black tea and coffee, actually. Other forms of caffeine are maybe a bit frowned on by the boomers, but caffeine and sugar has basically replaced alcohol in Utah. Instead of bars on every corner, there are so fucking many dedicated soda places.
Can you please point me towards which muslimic communities/branches/denominations of Islam forbid coffee? I was always under the impression that coffee came to western europe from the islamic world.
Some one should explain that religion is a drug.
Though, they also do do drugs, including coffee. They’re just not supposed to
I hear if you beg for forgiveness for drinking coffee 20 times you get a Starbucks gift card.
Eh. Too much work for terrible coffee.
Gimme local shops any day of the week
While also smoking all kinds of shit
I was in Istanbul and there are shisha places and coffee shops everywhere. There are dudes walking around with giant urns on their back who will sell you a cup of tea for a nickel (and then take the cup back and wipe it with a rag for the next customer).
I think your info on Muslims not smoking or drinking caffeine is not correct.
Mormons
I get why someone who was raised in a Mormon society would end up rejecting religion
There was also an uproar within Christians against Starbucks when they change Merry Christmas to Happy Holyday or something on their paper coffee cups.
