As for why, "No, no, there is no why! *exasperated sigh* Nothing more will I teach you today."

Okay, I will teach you this one last thing, and then I will follow up on the other comments tomorrow. The reason for opposing such drinks is not given in the revelation. However, caffeine does have some minor negative implications and can be addictive, as has been shown through the success of Starbucks (Starbuck's? S'tarbucks?) and our country's heavy reliance on coffee. Based on my limited research, some evidence shows that coffee has negative effects on health, though I know that this is contradictory. The same can be said of tea, with its (it's? 'tis?) pluses and minuses. When the said revelation was given in 1833, the negative effects of tobacco and alcohol were not known, and yet they are well-known now. We churchy folks are happy to attribute this to the wisdom of God who knew before we did that these things just ain't good fer ya. We believe that he knows what is best, and thus we do not consume.

This is why I will never understand religion.

Also: "Its" is for a property of something, "Its head, its face, its scent, its warmth."

"It's" is a contraction of "it is," and would therefore be used to describe "it."
