What popped into your mind first, coffee or a computer programming language?
Of course, context matters a lot, and what I'm too lazy to show you is the graphic that accompanied the article with the title "Jesus and Java". It (the graphic) was of a steaming coffee cup and saucer, with a cross on the side of the cup. "Jesus and Java" curled around the bottom of the saucer.
Those of you familiar with the Java computer programming language are probably aware of the coffee cup logo that goes with it. (Check out java.com to see it.)
My first thought was of the programming language. I was curious to know what Jesus might have to do with Java. Was this going to be a diatribe against technology in general? Or perhaps a treatise on the evils of non-open source software? Or maybe it would equate object oriented programming (which often touts code reusability) with embryonic stem cell research? Or is garbage collection really just a metaphor for euthanasia?
Actually, it's none of the above. It's a bunch of singles (so I can't go) who get together to drink coffee and share their faith.

what abpout option #3: an island in the south Pacific.
harumph.
harumph, yourself! I'm a Merkin, so I don't have to know about, recognize, or care about any place outside of Merica.
Besides, if the most famous movie ever made of the place can't place it properly on the earth, why should I care?
dunno why, but I suddenly want to belt out a showtune or two.
Quick! Queue the tapdancers!
