"Does the community of PerlMonks strive to represent the spirituality (lost in time) of using Caffeine as a 'Gift from the Gods'?"
"Should we dare to call ourselves PerlMonks if we're just fascinated by caffeine and we've lost our sense of respect towards it and ourselves as well?"

Spirituality is not related to caffeine.
Respect for ourselves is not related to caffeine.
Therefore we can respect ourselves and respect our spirituality while not respecting caffeine.
