First time I arrived in Qatar I looked forward to the weekend for a few beers and a double Glenfiddich. But come Thursday night, after taking a shower and dressing-up a bit, I try to get into the bar but I have no passport (Company keeping it for visa, and I thought passports were for entry to countries not bars)so that was my weekend's relaxation completely ruined. Who dreamed up these potty restrictions?
Anyway, here I am in China for a few weeks to see my girlfriend. I notice immediately that there are lots of bars everywhere, beer is cheap, everyone's having fun, everyone is happy most of the time it seems.
My observation and conclusion is that any society where religion is a strong feature is totally ruined. Religion is unnatural, unnecessary, and tends to more and more puritanical control over human life which ends up making human happiness completely impossible.
