Whatever.gs sounds like some obscure foreign website.
Anyway, Ender, I wasn't implying religious people are stupid; I know plenty of intelligent people from most of the major religions. I just don't understand why critical, free-thinking people would choose that route when you could go another route and be able to drink tea, too. The British have been drinking it for literally a billion years and they're alright chaps, mostly. It's just such an inconsequential thing to me; I mean, is God really going to be THAT mad at you for having a nice, hot cup of tea on a cold day? If he isn't, then why bother with the rule? If he is, then he sounds like a dick; because who gets mad over a cuppa?
Also: Could you take some tea leaves and chew on them?
It just seems odd to me for someone who is intelligent and critical to stop their line of critical questioning at, "Well, because that's what the book says." How would, say, a by-the-book Christian scientist reconcile their latent desire to know things about the Earth with the proven fact that the Earth is much older then the Bible says? And why would they even want or try to reconcile the two opposite lines of thought when one is obviously wrong? Why would someone deny the proven deliciousness of pork products when, in general, they have caused no spiritual harm to anyone over the centuries just because a book says so for really no reason? Doesn't God have better things to do than worry about who ate pork when he supposedly put it here in the first place? Isn't it kind of an un-God-like dick move (yes, I realize he is famous for dick moves) to do that?
I guess my point here is that tea ain't never hurt nobody. Give Tea A Chance.
