[Maritime Q-Scout]

This is my own curiosity, but what's the theory behind the no caffeine? I never really understood no alcohol in Christianity when red wine is acceptable, and there are passages that condone the drink. However I once heard the argument that it alters your state of mind and leaves you more open to suggestion of sinful acts (which I believe is true) so while I disagree with the belief I certainly understand where the viewpoint comes from. With caffeine I don't know what the theory behind the the rule, or suggestion is. I'm not discrediting the belief, or saying it's foolish or wrong, just curious as to why it's there.

That said, not to get this thread more derailed, I'm not Mormon, nor have any intentions of converting, but do cheer for BYU during March Madness (mostly because a few years ago if BYU won their opening round game, the second game would have to be played on a Sunday, which the university doesn't do, so for some reason the commentators never got into the NCAA would have had to rebracket the entire tournament. I was cheering for them hardcore, and have casually ever since. Also of note Canadian Masters Champion Mike Weir is a BYU grad.)
