A: Personally I don't need it. I often make fun of religious people or look down upon them, but that is narrowminded of me. As long as noone tries to force their belief on me, I'm ok with religion. What's not ok is sects, brainwashing, wars over religion and so on. I think some people need religion because without it the structure of their lives would collapse. Their cultures may be built around religion or their moral values are built around religion. They may also use it as a source of hope or energy. That is totally fine with me. I could go on about this but I think that deserves it's own thread...
Q: It makes me extremely annoyed to hear US americans complain about their gas prices rising when we pay twice or even three times that price over here. Can they please realize that they don't need to drive large SUVs and that they are helping to ruin the environment more than necessary. What are your thoughts on this, should they be allowed to complain? Don't give me a short answer please.
