The point being that religion, politics, relationships etc. will always be discussed. They are the big questions that everyone needs to answer for themselves. Who am I really? What am I doing here? What makes a good life and what comes after?

Different people come up with different answers. But it's always fun to talk about.
I reckon a lot of people here would take the right hand fork.
