Replying to a message of Steve Kemp to Bob Ackley:

 >>>> And before you ask, I have never had a DUI since I do not drink.

 RS>>> Prove it.

 BA>> He claims to be a Mormon.  I've no reason to question that claim.
 BA>> Mormons do not drink alcohol - or coffee or soda pop (I think the
 BA>> ban is on beverages that contain caffeine).  It therefore follows
 BA>> from the two  premises that he has never been drunk, and thus never
 BA>> had a DUI.

 SK> You assume that Mormons aren't human then.

No, AFAIK part of the Mormon lifestyle is to not drink alcohol or caffeinated
beverages (not a bad idea, IMO).  That some of them stray a bit (or a lot)
is irrelevant.  

 SK> I know lots of "Christians"...am I to assume then that none of them
 SK> have  ever had sex before marriage, for instance?

Or outside of it.  That's the teaching.  And some (if not most) of them stray
a bit (or a lot) from that teaching.  Actually I don't have a problem with that,
my problem lies with those who preach not doing it but are in fact doing it
themselves.

 SK> For your information, my wife was born and raised Mormon
 SK> ...and she's with ME! ;)

That's her problem, isn't it?
