Ultimately, religions are about the behaviour of the members of that religion. Attempting to make others conform to your own religion is generally a bad idea and leads to violence and wars.
If you truly believe that over-50s are against the will of <insert-deity>, then it is up to you to remove yourself when you hit that age.
Similarly, it is up to you to only consume Coke Zero and not be tempted by the evils of other sodas. If you feel strongly enough about it then you boycott any cafeterias that provide alternatives.
Religions that prescribe the behaviour of non-members are merely a means to control other people and such religions should be shunned by society due to the historical problems that they have caused.
- yamazakiwi 4y agoI completely agree and would add that if I am not supposed to drink soda, I would appreciate additional drink options for beverages at work, but I would not expect the company to ban drinks I am choosing not to have based on my beliefs. It is my free will that allows me to follow my religious teachings. When I affect the free will of others based on what is ideal for me, I am being selfish.
