Quantity doesn't signify to zealots:

"I just nibbled that apple."
"But rabbi, it was just a single bacon cheeseburger."
"But father, she was just a little girl."
[Okay, that last one might go over.]

Some behaviors are immoral due to principle rather than result.

If, in a new-found tome of Lovecraft, Nyarlathotep is observed taking
tea, it is certain to be green with milk and sucralose.

But repentance is possible. Take a candle and a feather and search
your entire dwelling, kneeling if necessary, for Cremora and
sucralose, expunging the vile substances. Use milk only for Cheerios.
If you are Pythagorean, forswear beans. Think twice before eating
tabuli.

It just got cold in Wisconsin. I'm switching to black, so milk is
permitted.

Thealogically,

Rick.
