If it was the mods would have closed it and not commented on it.
Now I would appreciate it if you stop trying to hijack this thread, which is against the TOS.
So I guess you haven't noticed that the mods let a lot of bigoted stuff slide in this forum. The more you avoid the question and the more your ideological compatriots post stupid stuff here, the more evident the actual purpose of this thread becomes.
Funny every Mormon I've known thought soda was a big no-no. Guess we'll be seeing Mitt take a big swig of soda on the campaign trail sometime soon:
"Despite what was reported, the Church revelation spelling out health practices (Doctrine and Covenants 89) does not mention the use of caffeine. The Church’s health guidelines prohibits alcoholic drinks, smoking or chewing of tobacco, and “hot drinks” — taught by Church leaders to refer specifically to tea and coffee.”
So why doesn't BYU sell caffeinated drinks on campus?
"At the LDS Church-owned Brigham Young University, caffeinated drinks are not sold. It is not because of a church or university edict, said spokeswoman Carri Jenkins, but customer demand. “Dining Services has made the decision to not sell or serve caffeinated beverages on campus,” she told FOX 13. “Simply based on what our customers want or do not want."
That actually doesn't surprise me in the least, as he is also pro-choice. If Romney had picked a moderate like himself for VP, I would have been just fine with the Republican ticket.
I doubt you would find any Republican moderate in your view: I do not think it make a hell of beans difference if Mormons drink soda, coke, hot drinks or anything else. What a silly issue to bring up. What the church policies are and what individual practices are vary for most of us. You are scraping the bottom of the barrel to even mention this.

Uh huh. This is the first time that a presidential candidate's religion has been discussed. First time ever. Poor Mitt. Such a martyr.
But I do wonder if this is the first time that a major institutionalized religion in the U.S. has clarified its own religious teachings for the sake of one of its member's political campaigns.

I bet If I attacked your health choice you would call me a NAZI....

You guess wrong. I don't think that the Holocaust is something to make light of.
And the fact that the Mormon Church decides these things, it's a religious choice, not just a health choice.
