Let's get Metaphysical: a Debate on Religion and Spirituality

Okay, I realize that many people stayed away from the previous debate on abortion because it touches a nerve that most peoplecan't comfortably express without becoming accusatory. Kudos to those who did express their opinions politely and eloquently though, thank you. Here is the next topic up for debate. Same rules apply here as before, so let's start the debate.

Abortion

Yes, I realize that I am taking my life into my own hands here by posting this, but I feel that if we are going to be open and honest witheach other, then this topic needs to be addressed. I only have 3 rules....
#1: Please post your honest opinion.
#2: Do NOT insult other posters, all offensive and derrogatory posts will be removed.
#3: You MUST sign your post, you do not have to sign your name but you do need to put an identifier with your comments.
Having said all that, please be respectful of other peoples opinions. I am hoping to start an open discussion on this subject. I will be posting on this topic shortly. Thanks, Andi H.
