          “Blasphemy” is not really something I would consider a term that’s commonly used to express subjective opinions.

            That’s because words on their own all have definitions. The subjectivity is created contextually. I swear it feels like I’m talking to a bot.

              No need to get insulting, ma nude. Still not sure in what world your statement could be regarded as subjective in intend. Please, enlighten me.

                Opinions, such as “all methods of decaffeinating coffee are blasphemy” are subjective in their very nature. What makes this more obvious is that the definition of blasphemy is entirely subjective and can’t even begin to be assessed objectively until at very minimum a religious dogma is declared for the basis of evaluation.

                  the definition of blasphemy is entirely subjective

                  I disagree. IMHO, the accusation of blasphemy presupposes a dogma to actually make sense.

                    Okay… Which one? It’s pretty clear that decaffeinated coffee violates no religions that I’m aware of… And in fact for some religions would be the only allowable way to drink coffee. And if you argue that I just meant in general that it is a slight on to any God then how would you interpret that as anything other than humor or sarcasm?

                    Do you always feel like a victim or is it just when you aren’t caffeinated enough?

      Dude, you clearly didn’t even watch the first 30 seconds of the video because it contradicts what you say from the start

        How do you gather? You think there isn’t many ways to decaffeinate beans or that some of them aren’t gross? Or that most ways used to decaffeinate beans doesn’t make the coffee taste bad?

        These are the very points James makes in the first 2/3rds of the video.

        The only point that he and I might delaminate on was that all decaf is blasphemous, and that’s a stretch because he never talks about the religious criminality of drinking coffee?

        Why do you think I would offer a video to people about decaf that I didn’t watch? Hint: I don’t hate decaf coffee.
