For example, caffene in coffee and tea is bad but ok in soft drinks. Or mild barley drinks(ie, beer) are ok in the origional revelation, but not now. And the part about only eating meat in times of winter and famine? They just totally ignore that part completely. And while Mormons claim that the reason for the revelation is to test the obedience of the saints, there is a lot of evidence that it was economically motivated, because the early church didn't want it's members buying coffee,alcohol or tobacco from non-Mormons. Which,to me, makes the most sense for why they have the stupid law. Like with so many things in religion, the Mormons pick and choose which parts of the Word of Wisdom apply to them.

I never knew about that. Does that mean that Mormons cannot eat corn flakes, oatmeal, rye bread or barley soup? <br /><br />Human beings are so weird the way they create religions, then create goofy rituals and unreasonable restrictions for themselves and unnecessarily complicate their lives.
