So a bunch of individual unrelated mormons in unrelated stock investments may or may not own a unknown portion of Coke, therefore they are the biggest hypocrites on the planet???
Lol.. you win the gold in the twist facts event for the rationalization gymnastics.
If you're gonna make up things, at least make up a big number like 25%.

Then it goes on to say that mormons have been allowed to drink Cola (and other soft drinks) all along. They could have fooled me. I'm down here in the Lethbridge area, where there are plenty mormons that have told me in the past "no thanks, I can't drink that" when I offer a Coke.

So? Thats they way their group or themselves individually chooses to interpret things. Either that or it's a grand conspiracy targeted at you to fool you into thinking they own a large portion of Coke.

At the bottom of the article it lists a few of the "frowned upon" substances like coffee, tea, tobacco, alcohol etc. So what is it in coffee that makes it forbidden? Could it be the caffiene content? I didn't think a harmless coffee bean could be so bad. I smell a rat here.

No those aren't frowned upon, they're against church doctrine. Coffee is a hot drink.
